    if you explain why you need it and you only need one they should.

    They are usually empty and a bit lighter then a full one, but you would be able to lift it into the boot no problems.

    Thanks for the advice, went up to the civic site on the way home with some recycling had a chat with the guy and he let me grab a bottle no probs, only thing was there was no propane only yellow bottles and red bottles, I grabbed a butane (red) one and will chance my arm with that, hopefully theyll let me away with it :D

    Plain red bottles are usually propane with screw on regulator.
    Plain yellow bottles are butane with snap on reg. with flip top on/off
    Yellow bottles with red handles are propane with snap on reg. rotating on/off.
