Why use FlipFuel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I can give you two main reasons to using FlipFuel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Consolidate your partial camp fuel cylinders into full canisters.<\/strong> As FlipFuel says, “Don’t pack a halfie.” Use FlipFuel to consolidate your partially used isobutane canisters into one full canister. When you go backpacking, you want to be sure you’ll have enough fuel for your entire trip. You end up buying new fuel canisters because you know a full one will last the 9 days you’re on the trail. But how many days will your used one last? Now you don’t have to worry about that. <\/li>
  2. Recycle empty fuel canisters.<\/strong> This is an extra bonus for the environment. You can recycle your newly empty isobutane canisters! Refer to this post<\/a> about where to recycle your camp fuel. FYI you’ll need to puncture a hole in your fuel canister. Here’s how you do that safely and easily<\/a>. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
