How do you transport denatured alcohol?

I got a little Esbit alcohol stove for Christmas. I've been wanting one.

Esbit Alcohol Stove and Trekking Cookset – J Rife Company

My question is: How do you carry the denatured alcohol? What kind of sealed container? I have a small aluminum container for carrying fuel, but it specifically states not for alcohol as it will cause corrosion.

I'm looking for something small - no larger than a quart size (a little smaller would be better).

Thanks!
 
I just use the plastic bottle it comes in. We keep it on hand for medical use and store it in the camper to winterize the sink drain P-traps.
 
Plastic is best, the cheapest, but in a pinch you can use an empty Crown Royal glass bottle, if the economy is really bad, you could use Jack Daniels bottles. Seal them well, use a couple of your tactical survival candles, melt the sides a bit and jam them in the opening. Do not light the candles! Also, make sure the ATF is not around to inspect your stash.
 
MSR sells dedicated fuel bottles. I engrave mine with the kind of fuel in it.


From the MSR website:

Can I burn alcohol in my MSR stove?
No, MSR stoves will not burn alcohol, and alcohol will damage MSR Fuel Bottles.
