Alternative to Sigg Meths Bottle?

[oxford_guy]

It seems that Sigg no longer make fuel bottles, does anyone know which other companies make lined 0.6L fuel bottles, suitable for carrying meths? Altternatively, would the 0.5ml Trangia plastic fuel bottle fit a standard bottle carrier (I know I could get a bike buddy, http://www.bikebuddy.co.uk/ but would be easiest if I can use my existing holders)? Its really just as a backup in case I can't get gas, as will mostly be using the gas adaptor with my trangia setup... Thanks

Primus?

But couldn't you just use an ordinary plastic (HDPE) water bottle? According to this hazard datasheet HDPE is suitable for storage of meths.

Am worried about leakage and possibility of getting mistaken for water (not all denatured alcohol is blue...), so would be good to get something distinctive

The drinks Sigg bottles are fine for meths. You just can't put meths in a fuel bottle.

They've stopped making the fuel bottles because they weren't strong enough to be used as a pressure container on stoves like the MSR.

Well there's no chance of you drinking from it then...

Is HDPE what the Nalgene bottles are made out of?
