The Alpenflow pays for itself in just a few uses. Weighing less than a penny, this Alpenflow fuel transfer device is a must have for your next backpack adventures. You can move fuel between canisters from hiker boxes, split canisters amongst friends, or consolidate your pile of half-filled canisters. PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA!
Specifications:
2.4 grams (0.09 oz)
Works with all threaded isobutane canisters (built per EN 417)
100% Made in USA
A refrigerator or direct sunlight also needed to drive transfer
How to use:
Warm Your Donor Canister and/or Cool Your Recipient Canister
This transfer requires a pressure difference to push the upper liquid fuel down into the lower canister
The donor canister can be warmed in the sun, never use an oven or flame
The larger the difference, the faster the transfer will run
Place Warm Canister on TOP, Cool Canister on BOTTOM (no threading needed)
Press Down Hard for 5 - 10 seconds
Repeat as Needed, especially if filling a near-empty lower canister.
Once the warm donor fuel mixes & heats the lower liquid fuel sufficiently, the transfer will slow and eventually stop.
Warnings & Safety:
Never use a flame or oven to heat canisters
To mitigate the risk of liquid butane expanding when canister is heated, never fill beyond the original fill level (~80%)
Fuel canisters do not meet D.O.T. requirements for commercial transportation after refilling (a.k.a. it’s illegal for businesses to transport refilled canisters)
Never fill canisters with pure propane, and only transfer “winter mix” fuel (70% butane / 30% propane) into canisters rated for winter mix fuel.
