Backpacking Fuel Transfer Device

Does exactly what it advertises! Made it really easy to top off a small canister of fuel for my latest backpacking trip. Will save me lots of money and weight in the long run!

Works easily and well. Save $$ on canisters!

I can’t believe I had never heard of this tool until now but it’s a great addition for anyone into backpacking. It solves the age old problem of whether to risk carrying a half-empty fuel container into the wild, having to carry an extra container as a backup, or simply buying a fresh full canister for each trip and having a bunch of half-empties in a bin at home. Now I can buy a large fuel container and just keep refilling my small one that I carry on trips. The transfer process is simple and straightforward….just be sure to read the instruction and/or watch a video to ensure you get the temperature differential needed. It’s not cheap at $35 but the cost savings over the long haul and piece of mind of knowing I’m always carrying a full cannister is well worth it.

Excellent product

I try to be frugal and green in my hobbies. This helps. Don't waste fuel = frugal. Recycle empty canisters = green.Fairly easy to use - maintain a temperature difference between the 2 canisters. (Receiving can goes in Freezer / Sender goes in sun.) Then connect the Flip Fuel device, with Sending can on top/receiving on bottom, turn the knob to the Flip Fuel, and let it go! As long as you do not try to over fill, you will be all set! (I use a kitchen scale to make sure I won't overfill.)Love it!

This is a really handy device for reducing the amount of fuel that can go to waste when a canister runs low and you don't want to pack it because it would be wasted space, but you know there's still fuel in there. It's not as simple as hooking two cans up and voila! You have to ensure the temperature difference between the sending and receiving cans are correct. Overall however, it's does what it should and is a money saver in the long-run.

I was able to easily combine fuel from partial canisters into one. Great idea, great product.

I bought this a while back and finally had the chance to put it to use with a half dozen older fuel canisters. The fuel canister brands were from several different companies. his tool worked perfectly, transferring fuel amongst different brand canisters. I checked all the cans prior, using a Jetboil brand canister scale, which I have found to be very accurate. All transfers left the "receiving" canister measuring "100%" with the scale. As others have stated, the directions are there for a reason. The temperature difference between the "sending" and "receiving" canisters is important. Which one is on top or bottom also matters. just follow the directions. This will save me a bunch of money, as I used to leave 15% to 30% canisters in a bin because they weren't adequate for my trips. Now I can keep them consolidated and at 100%, making this well worth the cost of this quality tool.
