30 oz. capacity

Bottle has a sturdy feel, yet light weight. The O-ring seals work fine.

The bottle holds 33 oz., but there is a line which one is not to fill beyond. This line is at 30 oz. This is not a problem by itself, but it causes a difficulty when estimating how much fuel one needs using the MSR specs. The specs for some of the MSR stoves are in terms of using a 22 oz. fuel bottle. The question is how much fuel was in this 22 oz. bottle—20 oz.? If so, then one can use the spec. to estimate fuel requirements for the 33 oz. bottle. Even if this issue is not resolved, at most this introduces a 10% ambiguity in fuel requirement estimates and so for most campers this is nothing to worry about—just bring another 10% more fuel to be safe.
