Title: Butane Cylinders
Post by: cardinal28 on January 05, 2012, 11:53:41 AM

Does anybody know is it safe or illegal to carry these cylinders/cartridges in an enclosed vehicle? Do high temperatures effect these units? Do different states have different regulations?

 Cheers

Really high temperatures do, they make a great bomb in a microwave....

On the canister it states do not use in temperatures above 49 degrees C .. But they do have a pressure release valve built in so they would probably self discharge if they got too hot and pressure built up too high .So not a good idea in a sealed vehicle ... Don't know of any laws on them though ..

Cheers
