Dave,

How do you re-use white gas containers? I am not referring to the fuel
bottles, but to the containers in which the white gas is purchased. Most
stove manufacturers (including MSR) now recommend that you buy the fuel
in small quantities (to ensure fuel freshness and prevent fouling of the
stove), and MSR sells very pure fuel in it's own little containers.
While these containers are recyclable (as are the butane/propane
containers) they are not reused.  Is there anyone out there who re-uses
white gas containers? If so, how do you go about this?
