In a word, no. Government regulations (not airline policies) forbid
carrying not only the fuels, but any stoves or fuel bottles that have EVER
contained fuel (Sorry for the "shouting" - just have to stress this.) This
is the case in Canada at least, and since we mostly take our cues from the
US FAA, I imagine it's true in the States too. I believe the concern is
that fuel fumes are actually potentially more dangerous than liquid fuel.
Hope this helps.
