Outdoor Fuel Bottle

The advantages of an aluminium fuel bottle

Aluminium is a popular choice for fuel bottles due to its combination of low weight and high durability. The material resists rust and corrosion, making it particularly suitable for outdoor use where the bottle may be exposed to moisture and harsh weather conditions.

Durable design for safe transport

Outdoor adventures demand fuel bottles that are not only portable but tough enough to withstand harsh conditions. The material's high resistance to impacts and temperature fluctuations makes these bottles ideal for extended expeditions where gear faces extreme stress. Whether using a camping stove or multifuel stoves, a rugged fuel bottle ensures you always have the right fuel supply ready.

Primus fuel bottles are crafted from extruded aluminium, creating a seamless construction that's both lightweight and durable. To protect fuel from external elements, the bottles feature an internal lacquer coating that prevents corrosion and preserves contents longer. Their robust design withstands impacts and severe weather, making them perfect for outdoor use in all environments.

Standard thread for camping stove compatibility

To ensure your fuel bottle works seamlessly with your camping stove, Primus fuel bottles feature a standardised thread compatible with multiple stove models. This allows direct connection between bottle and stove without adapters, ensuring a secure and reliable seal.

The bottles are designed with standard threading to fit Primus OmniFuel, MultiFuel, Gravity VF & MF, and VariFuel stoves directly. The secure screw-top prevents fuel leakage during transport or use, while the ergonomic design enables easy handling even with gloves.

How to choose the right fuel bottle size

Your fuel bottle choice depends on several factors, including trip duration and cooking needs. For shorter trips, a smaller bottle may suffice, while extended expeditions require larger capacity. The right size means carrying no excess weight while ensuring enough fuel for your entire journey.

Primus offers fuel bottles in multiple sizes for different needs:

0.35L – Ideal for short trips or as backup fuel
0.5L – The perfect balance between weight and fuel capacity
1.0L – For extended expeditions requiring larger fuel quantities
1.5L – For major trips/group use with high fuel demands

The ideal size depends on trip length, planned cooking volume, your camping stove model.
