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

I own the previous version of this bottle, without the new cap design. I needed another, so I bought this new design. The cap addresses my only concern with this bottle; the possibility that the cap may come off while in a pack. It is of the childproof variety, which means that one must apply quite a bit of pressure downward before unscrewing becomes possible. The bottle itself is really solid, but the price increase over the previous model kept me from giving this bottle 5 stars. There are very few alternatives though, so I still definitely recommend this bottle!

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

I just bought the new fuel bottle to replace my old version. My old fuel pump broke and I couldn't buy a replacement lid for the old version, so I had to buy the new one. Oh well, right. Except that I tried to open the child proof lock and couldn't do it. I tried not to over-tightened it, but maybe that's the problem? Regardless, I tried until my hands hurt, then I had my 2 male room mates try to open the bottle and had no luck, just frustration. If I press it down and turn it, as shown in the diagram, it just seems to be locked in place and will not turn. This is just too difficult. If I can't even open it in my backyard how am I going to do it when I go snow camping this weekend?

Comments about MSR Fuel Bottle with CRP Cap - 30 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 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 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.

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.

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

Standard solid body fuel canister.

However, the cap design is just the worst possible. As with the last poster, I have no idea how to get the cap off. I got it off once and filled it with fuel, now nothing seems to work. You just press down and twist and nothing happens. Will resort to hammer shortly.
