[at-l] Fuel in Mail - Bad idea

[kendall@enter.net (Ed Kendall)]

On a recent resupply for the Long Trail I decided to
put a bottle of fuel in my maildrop.
It was a brand new MSR fuel bottle which I tested for
leaks and felt good about mailing it.
In the end I did not mail it and took the box
home...unable to finish the hike.
It sat in the box for some time.  Yesterday I needed
something from that box and found that it leaked badly
when turned over....it got a little bend at the neck
while driving around in my pickup.

Lesson for me is that I will never again be tempted to
put fuel in a maildrop.
