I am confident that you can store anything you want in there. I holds less than .2 gallons, so plan accordingly. I keep mine full and in the bags on my Harley all the time. No leaks or spills. Great peace of mind. I don't think I would *plan* to use it--the lid is hard to open, and you *will* spill a little. But if you really need it, that doesn't matter.

Tyler: I've carried an MSR bottle on my bike for years and not once has it leaked a single drop over the roughest of roads. Well worth every penny

I used it to store gas for my Goldwing on a trip last year. Just in case I got stuck between gas stations. Didn't have any problem with leaking. Just poured into my tank at the end of the ride. Leave room in the bottle for expansion.

As shipped the top seal does have a compression rubber ring that appears to be a snug fit, but I do not believe it would be approved as is for storage of gasoline.

Yes you can, I have same tube on my bike. And it is more trouble then it is worth, tires are hard to fill up. I hear people say all the time, fill it up at the gas station, buy a bike pump. I've tried, and I already have a pump. Neither work, I have to take it to walmart cause they have HIGH COMPRESSION air, or a bike shop. The first time I filled it up with air was easy, now it's a headache

I keep mine in my truck and split my time between South Florida and East Texas, no problems with storing it yet. My best advise is the same as J Davidson, store it in a container, if you accidentally tip it over or spill it the product is a mess to clean up (been there done that in a toolbox and it wasn't fun). Good luck!

Friend, that really depends on the bike. The bags in themselves, do not. If there is an exhaust in the vicinity,I would recommend racks or shield to protect the bike's plastics and the bags.

I bought a bag for my Ridgeline. They are the same size as my GL1800 and work fine on the bike. No leaky :o)

You can store it outside. However NEVER run a gasoline engine/generator inside or in a low ventilated area. It is extremely deadly.

I agree with the other answerer: the plastic is capable of containing petroleum products obviously, since it handles oil. While you could dump gasoline into this, it would NOT be safe.If you need to drain a couple ounces from a lawnmower at the end of mowing season you might be okay, but it would still make me nervous. Gasoline is fairly volatile and gives off highly flammable vapors. It really needs to be contained in an air-tight fuel container, even if being discarded.

Yes you can. I only had 3 doTerra bottles handy but they fit in perfectly. I would guess you could store up to 6 or 7 bottles in each compartment. Good idea!!

yes you can and you can also use methanol...go to your local auto parts store and by heat the gas treatment the one in the yellow plastic bottle that's the one that I use and it works great I do not like the one that comes in the red bottlealso when you go camping you can take that bottle with you and always have it

I have had no problem of spilling when tipped. However, I would probably store it upright. I am not sure of how long the rubber gasket would last if stored on it's side.

Yes. I'm currently on our second bag. Please note that slipstream wind action may cause elements of the bike(s) to wear holes in the bag. To prevent this I cover the bikes with and old blanket before zipping up the bag. I also put foam drink holders on each pedal for the same reason.

I've found that as long as the seal in your gun is good, no leaks, it doesn't hurt to leave it in there. I do and have had no problems with leaking, and then later I use it until it's used up. I've also found that if you put a drop of chamber lube, like the RWS, on top of the cartride before you install it, it seals better and it will protect the seals, keeps them from drying out. Hope this helps.

no. I have Scott bike and I have 2 bottle holder. but on side I have big bottle 20 oz ans upside I have small one it's 12 oz.or 16 oz ....the 2 big one will not fit....

Yes. Use 1 gal premium gasoline and mix with 2cycle oil. You can find this oil at hardware stores, home depot etc and the amount of the 2 cycle to mix with 1 gal gasoline is on the cans of 2 cycle oil.

yes you can put it out by taking the burner wick off for a min. it will cool down then. I usually just turn upside down and tap it on my leg and the burner will pop off without take unit out of the bag. It takes about 2oz of fluid to fill. I use mine everyday at work when its cold and might use 2 of the big bottles of fluid each winter. I like mine and have 2, one camo and one chrome plated. I keep it in my chest pocket to heat my body core.

K., Jesse has it right. Isobutane canister you find at most camping/backpacking stores. I use MSR ISOPRO for my fuel, but this stuff is available in lots of stores under different names. Screw it on, fold out pot supports, turn on gas using little wire handle and light. Your water or whatever will be happily boiling in a few minutes. Adjustment is smooth and easy using the little wire handle to get the amount of flame you want. When your done just unscrew and pack up but obviously wait a few minutes till it cools down. I purchased one of these for everyone in my family. I works and seems to hold up over time but I tend to baby my stuff since I hate to re-buy things once I get used to using them.
