[pct-l] Mailing Fuel Canisters

[Jeremy Caves]

Hi all,

I'm hoping to use an MSR Whisperlite on my PCT section hike.  Of course, 
this uses white gas (I don't have the international version).  Can White 
Gas be shipped via USPS or UPS?  Whether it can shipped depends upon the 
flashpoint of white gas, and, just surfing the internet, I have found 
flash points ranging from -40C to 44C (the acceptable range for USPS is 
basically -7C to 38C).  Not sure which of these flash points to believe, 
but it must depend upon the exact composition of the white gas.


Anyone have experience with trying to ship white gas?  If not, is it 
generally available at places from Inyokern to Tahoe?
