We have a very small gas bottle to use with the cooker - and when we travel we put it in the floorwell in the front passenger side of the car with sleeping bags around it to pad it out.

Where do you put yours ?

Is there any safety issues in transporting these bottles ??

You travelling with several gallons of fuel under you all the time ,the gas bottle doesn't add any extra danger !

You do need to have a warning sticker though if its carried in a trailer !

Ours goes in the back of the pickup truck.

I have got a blanking fitting that I screw over the gas outlet on the bottle, just in case the valve fails.

Better to be safe than sorry.
