    Marker pen with top coat of clear nail varnish is good for this.

    I've been using small oil sample bottles (for short trips) which work a treat. Also urine sample bottles do the same trick.
    For accuracy and less spillage the small bottles of contact lens fluid are the biz as the tiny little hole lets you be as generous or thrifty as you like when filling /priming etc + the fact they are transparent so no 'shake 'n' hope'.
    A good example

    Yeah, exactly, I've accidentally drank a number of things in my life; namely a good glug of Vegetable Oil that I took camping once in a drinking bottle. When you've had a few, you soon forget it's not water in your drinking vessel! I certainly don't recommend it as a beverage. I'll only make that mistake once!

    I've found the Vargo fuel bottles to be cheap enough, easy spout for priming a trangia etc.

    I've also got a couple of rosewater and glycerin bottles, a few bowlers use the contents for a grip on the bowls and I get the empties. These need filling with a printer ink cartridge refilling syringe (or the like) though!

    I use shampoo bottles: a small, 2 oz bottle for short wanderings and a larger 4 oz for longer outings.
