I imagine it would be ok to put the bioethanol in the Trangia fuel bottle. My reason for asking is that I am not sure what kind of seals the bottle has and some fuels can react differently.
Its the trangia bottle with the new safety valve.

I keep mine in a 20 year old .3 liter sigg bottle which is not even designed to carry fuel and have never had a problem with the rubber seal so i doubt very much you will have any problems as your bottle has a fuel grade gasket seal.

Cheers hillbillie, I sort of thought that but thought I would ask. I also have a couple of sigg water bottles which I bought to use on the West Highland Way about 25 years ago! they are bomb proof..

I tried it and was sort of ambivalent about it to be honest, it has some advantages, but I'm not convinced that its much better than the gas stove I use sometimes.
I still remember the look a woman in the local hardware store gave me though when I bought a five litre bottle of meths. It was something along the lines of "You have a BIG drink problem".

Could use shock cord or thick laggy bands for different sized canisters.
