Angus pointed out a long bit about using vinegar to wash out the system, and leave notes for TSA. I agree whole heartedly with him and didn't realize a "tweak" was going to remove his comment. (Sorry man.)The vinegar seems like a good idea. I've also had good success in taking about 3 plastic bags (from the grocery store), some packaging tape and making a seal around the bottle. Step one: put bottle (and anything else with fuel smell) into bag. Step 2: completely encase plastic bag in packaging tape so no part of the bag isn't covered with tape. Step 3: Leave note for TSA. Step 4: Put 2 more plastic bags around it.This may not be the most "approved" version. But it's worked on 5 international and domestic flights. Your mileage may vary.
