Profile original reinforced nylon Bottle cages are versatile and work great
in this situation too..
I also run an MSR(22 oz.) bottle in my 3rd cage. Even with MSR fuel pump installed I don't have toe issues... YMMV depending on your bike. When I do a short tour and bring along my alcohol stove I use the same MSR bottle with standard MSR cap. Never had it even approach coming out while riding.

As noted though... the Heet bottles work well also.. I like having the fuel outside my panniers and secure, and this just works. So I'm sticking with it.
