Comments about MSR Fuel Bottle with CRP Cap - 30 fl. oz.:

I actually LIKE these new bottles. I used the old bottles many time and one issue I had was that if you didn't shut it really tight, they could leak gas all over your gear. The trick to these new caps is to NOT crank them down to tight as the child lock mech takes care of leaking issues. If you can get into the can the white gas (or whatever) comes in, you should be able to get into these without a problem, just don't use gorilla strength when you close it. If you do tighten it too much then use a stick or some other lever through the loop at the top to help get it open.
The 30oz bottle is great for week+ trips in the summer time and 4 to 6 day trips in the winter when you need to melt a lot of snow for drinking water. I get about 3hrs of burn time out of my DragonFly with this container when it's on full blast. Great bottle and cap combo.

Comments about MSR Fuel Bottle with CRP Cap - 30 fl. oz.:

I use multiple MSR bottles for backpacking. I also have a smaller capacity bottle with a simple screw-top lid. The bottle with the CRP was a pain to unscrew. 10 miles into the back country and 2000 feet of elevation gain, the cap would not unscrew. After 10 minutes and the use of a tool the cap finally came off. What is safe about not being able to eat in the back country? Luckily I had a spare cap from the old design to use on the remainder of the trip.

I wish they would go back to the simple screw cap. No need for CRP cap because bottles should be cleaned after trips.

Comments about MSR Fuel Bottle with CRP Cap - 30 fl. oz.:

of course the night before you are going on your trip and need the bottle and the fuel in the bottle (yes, you did successfully open it twice) YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN IT. After getting the XGK and suffering all the bad versins of that [*], now I must contend with the lid. Come on MSR I expect more from you. Hugely disappointed- again!

Comments about MSR Fuel Bottle with CRP Cap - 30 fl. oz.:

I bought this for additional fuel on an extended kayaking trip. My old 22 oz bottle has the old-style cap. With the old cap, I really have to tightened it, as I once had a leak while backpacking. With the old cap, as the bottle heated heated, the cap was about impossible to get off without a lever through the ring, as pressure builds up, and then it sprays fuel as the pressure is released. With the new bottle cap, it's easy to get off (just a bit of downward pressure, no more difficult than opening an aspirin bottle), no spray of fuel, and I have had no leaks.

I think it's a big improvement over the old style.

Comments about MSR Fuel Bottle with CRP Cap - 30 fl. oz.:

Having read unfavorable reviews of other buyers here, I purchased an REI Super Pour Spout at the same time I purchased the bottle and discarded the MSR Child Resistant Packaging (CRP) cap. The REI Super Pour Spout closes tightly and doubles as a cap for transport, so the MSR cap is unneeded. I closely examined the MSR CRP cap, and from what I could see of the clutch mechanism without tearing it apart, it appears under-designed and prone to failure. Moreover, the spring that keeps the clutch disengaged is too stiff, and to engage the clutch one must push on the cap rather firmly, which exacerbates the torque requirements to loosen a tightened cap. It's unfortunate that MSR had to switch from their original cap design to the CRP design, but as I understand it, they were required to do that to meet consumer product regulations in certain jurisdictions outside the U.S.A. Rather than forcing buyers to make the choice of struggling with the CRP cap or buying an MSR original style cap or REI Super Spout Cap along with the bottle at additional expense, it would serve buyers' interests better for REI to sell the bottle at lower cost without a cap, then allow them the choice of which cap to purchase to complete the set. If that had been the case, I would have given this product five stars.

I own a SIGG bottle of similar capacity from the late 1970s and wanted to increase my fuel carrying capability, but since SIGG quit the fuel bottle business sometime in the 1980s, I decided to give the MSR bottle a try. Fortunately, MSR copied the SIGG bottle thread design faithfully, so original SIGG and original MSR caps are fully interchangeable. Both the SIGG bottle and MSR bottle are made of aluminum, but the MSR bottle is significantly heavier (190 g vs. 108 g) and slightly smaller in diameter (178.5 mm vs. 181.3 mm) and taller (254 mm vs. 225 mm from base to bottle lip). This is understandable, as MSR's version was intended to withstand pressurization while the original SIGG bottle was not. The MSR CRP cap will not fit SIGG bottles, as SIGG bottles have a slightly wider flange at the bottle opening and the cap overhangs the flange. (Who cares, anyway?)

The MSR Fuel Bottle was manufactured in the U.S.A.

Comments about MSR Fuel Bottle with CRP Cap - 30 fl. oz.:

I have an older model (thank God!). My housemates set out to do some backpacking this week, and instead of borrowing my equipment bought their own. Two of us tried opening the cap. It is 20-something proof as well as child-proof! I sure hope our third housemate was able to open it for their trip.
My housemate and I are not wimpy gals, and regardless of how much force we used, following the usual CRP directions to push down, then counter-clockwise, we couldn't open the bottle.

Comments about MSR Fuel Bottle with CRP Cap - 30 fl. oz.:

The pumps for some of our stoves (MSR's) fit right into the bottle. I gave it 4 stars though because I do not like the child resistant cap. It is dificult to open and I never had a problem with the old cap leaking. I ended up buying the old style cap. REI has started selling it again so just order one when you order the fuel bottle. [@]

Comments about MSR Fuel Bottle with CRP Cap - 30 fl. oz.:

Love the bottle. Have 3 (2 old style/1 new style) in total. Hate the cap. I now seem to always be on the ever present old style cap hunt. MSR needs to bring back the old style.
Bottle gets 5 stars
Cap gets 0 stars
