My MSR stove burns unleaded gasoline. Will a gas station nozzle fit in the bottle or will I need a funnel to fill the fuel bottle?

I have also filled these from the pump... pay attention and go slow. You will be fine.

I have 3, 11 oz MSR fuel bottles and I fill them using an approved plastic gallon gas container w/ the aid of a funnel.

I realize this answer is long after the question has been asked, but this may be of value to future readers. I use these for spare fuel to carry in my motorcycle's saddlebags. After I've had occasion to empty them, I refill them using standard filling station pump nozzles. It requires caution, and I have to go slow in order to not overfill, but it does work fine and I've not had any mishaps.

I've been using MSR International stove with this bottle (33 fl oz) for last 7+ years, no problem whatsoever. Full bottle will last approximately 4 hours of burn-time at medium output.

My guess is that it wouldn't fit and you would need to use a funnel. The inner diameter of the neck is wider than a standard soda bottle but smaller (I think) than a Gatorade bottle.

I have not tried it but the width of the bottle seems big enough to put a gas station nozzle into it. I'm not sure I would go to a gas station for such a small amount of fuel. You'd be better off getting a 5 gallon container and using a funnel when you need the fuel.

Hi there, Don't think that I'd do that! The way the GAS comes out so quickly, Your going to get gas everywhere before you can stop the flow. GOOD LUCK & "BE SAFE!"

I did not buy the funnel thing. I just pour baby food jars right into the open top. I use a spoon to get the last few spoonfuls out of the jar and into the pouch. Works just fine.

I use a regular tank that you can buy and refill at any walmart or gas station (the one used I most BBQ grills), but with the right fitting valve you could use any tank,The only thingh I think this stove is too big to carry to a park

The Omnilite Ti stove requires a pump to work. The package comes with a pump which is attached to the bottle.

Typically you will need an FIP to Flare adapter to connect your gas line to your stove. The size should be specified in the instruction manual that came with the stove. Usually it is either half inch or five eights diameter.

Hi, Take the funnel off the can and put it into the tank.Then pour the gas into the funnel like you would any other funnel. You are right its impossible to do it otherwise.

I did not receive one but have been able to fill mine without one. Any funnel should work if you want to use one.

I wouldn't recommend using any other fuel source unless directed on the stove!! I have a micro rocket and it uses only one fuel source and I don't use anything but what it's designed for!!

it does not matter which you use, butane or propane, what matters is what fits the stove. camp stove fuel sold at sporting good stores like the brand msr is called a blended fuel, basically butane and fits the stove without an adapter, propane tanks found in hardware stores require an adaptor. just look at the fuel can top and your stoves screw on valve and it obvious what will fit and what will not fit

When you attach the fuel can, the line is filed with gas. When you attach the stove (not included/shown), the gas flows to the stove. I'd attach the stove to this adapter first and make sure the stove iss off, then attach the fuel can.

I just received this item to attach to my Century distribution tree and no fuel will flow through to my stove or torch. It would seem that it is only designed to work with 1# bottles.

I had the same question! I called a nice guy at Kuchenprofi USA and he measured the funnel for me. No contact info found on Amazon. The opening that goes in the bottle is 1 and 3/8 inches. Hope that's helpful :)

I use butane that I buy at home depot. There is a small valve on the bottom of the burner that easily fits the butane canister.

The opening is approximately 1 sm. The funnel might help, but it's not necessary, the bottle can be refilled without a funnel.

You have to use the small tanks - they're about 8-10" tall - with a specific size nozzle. Any brand will do, though. Coleman sells them (I think they're for their camping stoves), Home Depot and Sear's sell them as well.

Mine did not come with a funnel. I made a simple one out of paper to pour oil into.

You can buy a Mr. Funnel to insure that you have no water in your kerosene. Unless you spilled some or are buying the wick dry, there really shouldn't be any smell. Proper maintenance is a MUST. Look here, http://www.endtimesreport.com/regular_maintenance.html for instructions and help.
