  • Where do people store their fuel bottles for a MSR Whisperlite?

    My current thinking is to have a bigger bottle with a screw cap (for extra fuel) in the under BB bottle cage but I don't know where the 600ml bottle with the fuel pump should go.

    Do people leave the pump attached to the bottle? Is this too fragile to have in a bottle cage? I'm worried that the pump will get damaged if it's exposed.

    Having the fuel bottle and pump inside a bag seems risky, having a fuel leak inside a bag would be fairly catastrophic.

  • I always take the pump off and put the screwcap back on. The bottle will withstand a bashing, the fuel pump will not.

  • Good to know the pump easy to remove and store separately, does any residual fuel evaporate off before you pack it away?

    I've never had a liquid fuel stove before and have visions of everything in my bag smelling of fuel.
