I know there's specific fuel bottles designed for Coleman-type fuel. Is it safe to use one of those stainless water bottles I'm seeing everywhere? Stainless bottle, plastic screw-top with rubber gasket.
Why would you do this? Cost? Cool factor of posh designs on the bottles? Availability? I’m just trying to wrap my head around this. With a little research I found that Sigg says no BTW.
A few years ago, I was using a MSR fuel bottle as a water bottle. The 1 liter aluminum water bottles at that time were 25-30 dollars. The MSR was only $15
I would suggest not doing this. Disregarding the seal/lining issues, what happens if, in the middle of the night, you decide you want a drink of water? You might accidentally drink from your fuel bottle with fuel instead of your fuel bottle with water.
With a physically different bottle, it would be harder (not impossible) to drink/consume the wrong product.
thats assuming you carry a fuel bottle also some of us dont...
