Will the TSA let you fly (in packed luggage) with the fuel bottles?...

Will the TSA let you fly (in packed luggage) with the fuel bottles? I'm thinking of getting this stove for camping that is ~75% local and ~25% travel. In the past I've always either gone with friends that had their stoves or with guided trips, so I've never had to worry about flying with this stuff and therefore don't know how it'll work out.
Thanks!

Absolutely no way unless the bottle has never been used, or is so clean that no fuel residue or smell can be detected at all. Same goes for the stoves themselves. Even then, leave off the cap and be absolutely sure to disclose that the items are in your luggage when you check them. Another way to do it, if possible, is to ship them to your destination ahead of time, but the same rules apply to shipping companies regarding fuel and vapors. *I'll add: It's an incredibly subjective call on the part of the screener, and the odds are, if they have any question at all, they'll confiscate it.
