Coleman Stove Confiscation
I have travelled extensively using Coleman stoves since unleaded petrol is universally available. The single burner I have has been very handy on my world travels, so I was most hacked off the other day when customs officials confiscated it at Perth, Australia airport. There was obviously no fuel in the tank and my offer to fill the tank with water didn't cut any ice. They said I would have to use special solvents to flush the tank and with two hours to my flight wasn't an option. Is this a common practice amongst the customs fraternity ?
