Fuel Caps

Best to check your Trangia fuel caps and carry spare washers or an extra cap.

Last summer noticed a slight fuel odor that turned into a leak this summer. Discovered the o-ring between the cap and the bottle had split & cracked. Took apart the cap and the washer for the pouring spout had many cracks. The photos show the cap taken apart and the failed washers.

Bought three fuel bottles in 2016 with a spare cap. Fortunately the spare cap worked this time. Unfortunately all the other sets of washers, including the never used spare, show signs of breaking down though none have started leaking yet.
