hughesy Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Get yourself to any decent outdoor/walking shop and have a look at a Multifuel flask. Sigg and MSR are the 2 that I've used without any problems. Not cheap but quality bits of kit that don't leak and are pretty tough. I haven't used one in the Scottish though, because it's not allowed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boofont Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I've never used one in the Scottish either, and I never ran out of fuel about 5 times and had to get the army to top it up at a lunch stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrybaines Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 one Here bit pricey and only 0.6 liter but certainley a nice fuel bottle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fellonmelug Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I am really suprised that the Scottish was even mentioned as i am sure nobody has ever ever ever carried fuel in a seperate container Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seandellear Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Hey On the site barry posted if I am correct the fuel bottle is just a metal thermos flask with some stickers on it? I am sure somewhere like millets would do one that holds more fluid and costs a lot less. I have seen people with coffee in them at trials and they are all dented and scratched from being knocked about so they must be made tuff stuff! hope this helps sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy m Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 What about the little tank you can put on where the number board is, acts as a reserve tank and number board. Cant think of the name Doubt they are used in the Scottish though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got one of those, carries half a litre of fuel and is just the tool for the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikespace Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) Mine's a Sigg, but it's specifically a fuel bottle. Not sure if they are a different spec to the drinks bottles. Mine was a tenner from an army surplus store in Darlington. Would think army surplus is a good place to start. Or maybe ebay: Ebay Edited November 26, 2006 by bikespace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
