Hi

For those looking at flying with Qantas with our fuel stoves, Qantas
have updated their guide to flying with dangerous goods. In summary
Qantas advise:

Camping stoves and fuel containers that have contained a flammable
liquid fuel, may be carried provided the fuel tank of the camping
stove and/or fuel container has been completely drained of all liquid
fuel and action has been taken to nullify the danger.

Full details at
<http://www.qantas.com.au/info/flying/beforeYouTravel/dangerousGoods>.

Regards
Andrew

Correct me if I'm wrong, and I haven't checked the the Qantas link above for
some months, but hasn't it been this way (for all airlines ?) for some time
(since December 2002 ?), or has some particular micro-detail been changed since
then ?
