Found this Japanese drink in Daiso called 'Ramune' (or Ramu) which comes in a super lightweight resuseable, resealable aluminium can which I thought would be brilliant for carrying fuel for UL hiking. The ~450ml empty can weighs in at only about 24gms and is the same diameter as a standard beer can but slightly taller with a screw top. The shape of the bottle is like a 50% reduced version of an MSR fuel bottle but significantly lighter. There's also a smaller 275ml resealable aluminium can ('Ribbon' Japanese drink) at only ~21gms.

Pics or it never happened

Ok..........it's a quiet day doing budgets and spreadsheets, anything for a break

My painted Ramune aluminium fuel/metho bottle - painted about = 28gms. I'm going to paint the cap black.

We don't have Daiso in WA, they are only in NSW, QLD, VIC:

However, in Perth there are some other Japanese stores, for example:

Subiaco: https://www.facebook.com/Nipponfoodsupplies/?ref=py_c

Don't know if they have those drink bottles though.

I use a 300ml PET bottle (Coke Zero comes in these bottles, maybe other drink flavours as well). Weighs in at 22 grams. I just grabbed a couple of empties after my partner had drunk the contents. No chasing around Japanese shops required.

Always the risk of another mistaking contents of those bottles through unlike what stew63 has done by painting the alloy red.

Thanks for the pics Stew63 and Giddy_up.

Thanks for the heads-up BarryK

When running fuel in these bottles, do you upgrade the gasket in the lid to some fuel stable rubber, or have you just left it as is?

The gasket in mine is some kind of plastic not rubber
