I use a half litre one for oil when im away camping, doen`t leak, its great !
Wouldn't the fuel melt the varnish and then block your carb?
Good point. May be worth storing some biro refills in there just to make sure.
I suspect that the varnish isn't going to be as big a problem for a stove than a carb, so it shouldn't be too bad overall. You'd have to be pretty keen to try and store bike fuel in containers this small.
I guess that there won't be many people who would want to use a bottle that small for fuel and then use it for drinking water. If they did, I'd be more worried about the residual fuel than the aluminium anyway.
Just thought it might be handy as an emergency get-you-to-the-next-garage type solution. Wasn't considering using it for fuel and drinking water.
