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. Cheers, Philip T.
