throw us into the gruop. we always kep the pummp in the bottle and just relieve the pressure. I made a fairly stiff leather "box" for mine and leave the stove hooked up. bear in mind that you really have to disguise the bottle if you go on a plane. It cannot be legally flown. they confiscated my bottle at heathrow in '92 --leaving. solution. next trip in 94'-- buy an MSR water bottle and use it. they are made with the same thread and size. also learned that in UK they won't let you put fuel into any thing other than a container designed for fuel. solution is to buy a big bottle of model paint ( I had to settle for two bottles of red nail polish) and paint the thing red. then before getting to the airport use a remover to get the paint (nail polish) of and it is your water bottle. Back then you could carry a water bottle onto a plane. These days you can't even take toothpaste or a thermos of coffee.
