CO2 Cartridges and Air Travel
 

Has anyone run into issues trying to take the Co2 cartridges (for tire inflation) onto a plane. Does anyone know what the PSI of these cartridges are as I've heard I may be able to take them on a plane if it's below 40PSI.

Thanks

As far as I understand you are not allowed to take these onto a plane unless you have had prior agreement from the pilot.

Even though the majority of life jackets use these.

Cheers

I've had them removed from my luggage! http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/frown.gif

If you bring a life jacket, you can carry them in the USA (FAA regulations).
But who wants to bring a life jacket on an overLAND journey?!

From FAA Website:
Gas cylinders for self-inflating life jackets
With approval of the aircraft operator, a passenger or crew member may carry in checked or carry-on baggage, no more than two small gas cartridges containing no hazardous material other than Division 2.2 gas that are fitted into a self-inflating lifejacket for inflation purposes, plus no more than two spare catridges.

You know, these are probably the on every life jacket under every seat in an airplane!
