Doesn't meths eat away aluminum bottles?
Doesn't seem to Sean.
Are they coated inside? I google search seems to show that alcohol will oxidize an uncoated aluminum bottle.
They should be coated they were for Beverages. Star 'lotsa' Bucks sugar coffee. They have of course, been washed out

Sorry, I didn't mean to put people off, and if they can cope with "Star 'lotsa' Bucks sugar coffee" I'm sure they can cope with anything
Can I be a (further) pain and ask the dia? I'd like to make a fancee feast stove but they use an aluminium beer bottle for the inner part and they're not easy to get in the uk, this might be an alternative.

Ooh - would love one of these for fuel carrying. Hard to find the right size and I have a custom gizmo* to carry a fuel bottle.
PM and PP for postage?
*a hacked bottle cage and 2 velcro straps
And if anyone claims them as a bulk no problem at all, will just look out for it (and brave the coffee for the container)

That would be good, I think it's about the right size. I'm good for TPU at the moment, I haven't made many straps recently. Let me know how much the postage is, PM me if you need my address again.

Finally eaten my pasta sauce Sean

. Taken a lot longer to mutilate the pot than eat it - the ribs at the top were very fiddly with a craft knife. Still, fits almost perfectly.
Just waiting for windshield stuff now.

Yes pls - £3 PP each, or do you have more than singles spare? Could use a couple if the post was the same and you had enough.
