pressurised liquid fuel bottles

Post by in4time »

Using, for example, MSR or Optimus type pressurized fuel stoves, is there any important difference between the branded fuel bottles and generic ones?
Thanks

How much of a price difference is there? I mean it's quite possible that they're made in the same factory, but if the potential consequence of failure is that flammable fluid is ejected everywhere I'd perhaps think twice about saving a fiver...

I have both types cheap ones and expensive and have never had any problems. you could not get enough pressue in one with the small pump to get one to fail.
