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 do not believe you can. The trailer systems are pressure regulated at the propane bottles. The stove pressure regulator is the connector to the stove itself and designed to have propane bottle pressure at the connector regulator. Tapping into your external gas tap would give you a low pressure problem at the stove. I would not do it. Buy the adapter hose and run it off a 20lb or 10lb propane bottle. I use a 10lb bottle I got from camping world it is small and stores easily. Saves $ by not using the disposable bottles. Hope this helps.

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

It uses the regular old Coleman green 2 lb. propane bottles you find in the outdoors department of your local mega mart and they just screw on. Crack the knurled knob and flick the igniter near the tip then adjust the flame with the knob. Make sure the bottle is screwed on completely to depress the discharge valve in the bottle. 1 bottle should get you around the average sized yard several times before running out of gas. Shut the nozzle off, unscrew the bottle and hang the wand where it won't touch anything until it's cool.

The "Omnilite" has it's own pump integrated into the fuel bottle, also provided. You can clearly see the top of the pump handle sticking out of the top of the fuel bottle in the illustration on the amazon page. See this YouTube link on how to operate the stove: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cMX0Hc-AUg Although it's for the "Omnifuel" stove, the operation of the stove is identical.

We have the stove top installed in our boat. It is hooked up to a regular propane bottle.

The funnel fits in the regular (and large) sized canning jars. In the regular size jar openings its close, so it is hard to see the level you're filling it up to, but it definitely fits just fine.

I would recommend you get the one that has a cap on the nozzle and the top funnels and has a cap also.This one wouldn't be good for transporting. I empty in to this and then pour it in to my oil bottles that I just used to replace it.

I don't think so, you need the one made by coleman. I know that one works. This is similar to a MSR Pocket Rocket and uses isobutane canisters.

I don't know, but they say that no aditives should be put into the fuel pror to using the funnel. I have my doubts that I will work with a gas mixture, because the oil acts like an aditive.

I absolutely agree with Myung Kwon: a funnel description is not complete without the diameter of the stem.I need to pour powder from a large jar into one with a 1 1/2" mouth. My canning funnel has a stem diameter larger than the mouth of the smaller jar, and all my other funnels are so small - and have such long stems - that the powder keeps clogging them up. This looks like the perfect solution. But if I'm going to pay this much for a funnel, I need to know for certain that it will fit into the mouth of the jar.

I don't represent the MFR and I don't know the answer to your question. Amazon emailed me with the question. My only suggestion is that if it will work, (safely) someone has patented and manufactured an adapter for it. (You can Web search that.) That said, the MSR WhisperLite Universal stove ($80) "uses canister fuel, and switches easily over to liquid fuels". I don't know if the stove burner is specially designed to do this or if it just has adapters. Please use EXTREME caution and I advise you never attempt to use a stove other than as specified by the manufacturer. People have been badly burned by misuse of camping stoves.

Hi Shawn,Yes. If water gets in to fuel you just run the mixture through the funnel. What comes out (into a suitable, dry container) will be fuel. Any water that was in the fuel will remain in the funnel. Just dump that into a container for proper disposal, wipe the funnel dry and you're done. You've given your gasoline new life! Janette

You need to buy the gas adapter hose. Out of the box it works with the small 1lb campling stove and lantern tanks.

You must buy a portable gas canister or a large (20 lb.) tank which needs a special adaptor. I've only used my Cuisinart one time, but I expect several uses before my small propane canister runs out of fuel.

I would say yes in most cases, or use a plastic funnel that fits well. You could also find a piece of rubber hose or similar that fits the gas can nozzle.

You need butane. Flip the torch over on the bottom of the handle there's a little hole, you flip your butane over and press the nozzle into the hole on the torch. It will hiss a bit keep holding until you see a puff of gas. When it does that it's full. Hope this helps.
