Hey fellow travelers: I am aware that lighters are no longer permitted in checked or carry on luggage on commercial aircraft. But someone told me that he had heard even empty fuel bottles are no longer permitted in checked baggage. That is news to me. Within the last year I have transported used but clean and dry fuel bottles and backpacking (no reservoir) stoves on flights and I know the baggage was examined. Furthermore, airline FAQs do not prohibit empty fuel bottles and backpacking stoves, as they do many other items, including fuel itself, pepper spray, strike anywhere matches, empty propane tanks, etc. Is the story about empty bottles and stoves just a rumor, or has something new happened?
