I made a fuel bottle out of a $0.30 clear Ketchup dispenser, the DP can is for size reference. It wasn't airtight so I used gasket goo on the threads (it holds up perfectly,) and before anybody says anything, I'm not worried about alcohol peeling off my gauge or ink (it's tough to see but I've got another layer of clear tape covering the entire bottle and in this design it's next to impossible to **** up enough to spill onto it... if i do, i have probelms and posterity is the least of my concern)
Each line is about 2oz of fuel and represents the amount needed to boil 3 cups of water, with some fuel to spare. The actual amount to boil is actually less than 2oz, but I rounded up, I can actually get 9-10 servings out of this bottle (from overestimation and fuel above the gauge, but hopefully I'll forget this so I'm pleasantly surprised on the trail) So my questions are the following.
2oz of Denatured Alcohol to boil 3cups of water = Good?
8 servings of 3 cups of boiling water = Good for 3-5 day hikes?
