    What fuel and amount are we allowed to carry on BC Ferries?

    The Dangerous good officer (Shawn) email back regarding the two cartridges  : Jet Boil -UN2037 and NSR- UN1075 ( 110 gr ) . I mentioned that I may have 2-3 canisters at the time in the car.

    His answer : “The amount you are indicating is below the limited quantities so no need to declare at time of travel”.

    *The limited amount is 125 liters.

    This large amount require different procedure including carrying the fuel on the car deck.

    Hope that helps us travel with safely and with the fuel.

    Thanks for looking in to this, Limor.  Would it be possible to get a written statement from the safety officer mentioning both the allowed UN numbers and the allowed quantities?  It would be handy to have this to show the ticket sellers if questioned.  They may not have this information readily available to them.

    Note that UN 2037 isn’t Jet Boil specific. Butane only fuel with different canister can also use UN 2037.  See below image.
