    I use a green plastic perrier bottle, only so as not to mix up water/fuel.

    I use a small plastic green soda bottle. It's a different color than my water bottles, it's smaller than my water bottles, and in the dark I can feel that it's a different shape than my water bottles. I also marked it as "fuel - poison".

    Farr Away makes a great point about measuring out your fuel each time. You really do end up saving fuel when you do that. I use a 35mm film cannister which holds 1 oz.

    Easy peazy.

    once again folks you can be sued for storing poison in a soda bottle. They no longer track it - but if you do and something happens - you can only blame yourself for the blindness or someone will blame you...

    We have argued this to death here on WB.
    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

    Small mouthwash bottle. The large cap makes a nice measuring cup.

    If you have a friend who wears contacts, an empty saline bottle's dripper tip makes for precise aiming, and it's a tough bottle. Not an option for me, since I wear them and DO NOT want to take any chance whatsoever of mixing up the bottles!

    I use a soda bottle, too, label stripped off and labelled all over the place as fuel, poison, etc.
