Stove fuel bottle, are those compatible with each other?

I'm afraid not, but let's ask.

I own an Edelrid Hexon stove which I love. I want to know if I can use its pump in bottle from other brands (MSR, Primus). That is because it would allow a bigger range sizes, and, the bottle of Edelrid sucks - it is printed with some ink that melts with gasoline. So dumb. :)

Thanks for your help.

In some cases, yes, in some no. I had a MSR pump in a swiss bottle and it kind of worked...I could get a flame but not enough pressure to get a proper burn. I would experiment a lot at home before bringing it out. One of my solutions though has been to bring an MSR bottle and MSR pump. I use the swiss bottle for extra fuel if I need it but I transfer the fuel into the MSR bottle to burn it.
