MSR Fuel Bottles
Not For Airplane Travel...?

Got all three of them: the 11 oz, the 22 oz and the 33 oz. The 33 oz (or one liter) is good for motorcycle trips, as you can fill it from the tank if you have a couple of feet of vinyl tubing, or pour it back into the gas tank if you run out of gas on the road--that might get you about 10-15 miles closer to the next gas station. I got the 11 oz bottle for backpacking, but seriously, nowadays I think my Whisperlite International stove is too heavy for 3-season weekend, or even week-long, backpacking trips. (It's still a good winter stove, though.) Got the 22 oz bottle just to complete the set... They're all good, rugged fuel bottles, and the Whisperlite stove is good and rugged, too. Come to think of it, everything MSR makes is good, rugged and reliable.

I carried the 33 oz bottle from SLC to Hawaii to trek along the Na Pali coast on Kauii in 2007. It was empty and stowed in checked baggage; there was no problem flying either direction.

Oh, yeah...and you better be sure they're good and washed and not smelling of fuel, and not capped, if you want to try to take them somewhere on an airplane. That's, if they'll allow them on at all, these days...
