Hi John, thanks for your comment!
To answer your question, with the Trangia alcohol stoves you can close it securely. Any leftover fuel I have stays in there and is just used the next time. People that spring leaks in their Trangia either did not close it properly, or the O ring is worn out. After more than 10 years of hiking and bushcrafting with Trangia’s I’ve never seen them leak. I store it with cooled-down fuel, inside my cooking pot. With a tea towel around it to stop it clanking about.

Cheers,

Frank

Do you wait for it to cool down and try to dump back into bottle? Let it burn away? or do you just store it with the fuel? (J have heard of leaks so thinking this last one is a bad idea.) I see lot of videos on how to use, but not what to do with it when done.
