I can't remember what brands of metho I used and don't know what extraneous substances were mixed in by the manufacturers but the Nalgene bottle lasted a couple of years and and suddenly went brittle and disintegrated, luckily this happened at home when preparing for a walk so I was not stuck out in the donga without fuel and with metho soaked gear. I've no idea why this occurred but presumably the fuel attacked and changed the hardness/composition of the plastic, but strangely enough metho is sold in plastic containers which seem to have a long life on the shelf. This has nothing to do with your question about MSR containers making the metho cloudy but I just throw it in as evidence of the (apparant) ability of metho to attack some plastics. Maybe ditch the Trangia and use gas?
