I have been told that you can't cross the border into Canada with full fuel cans but what about LP tanks. I carry a 20lb tank for my grill and its secured in the back of the box. Will that be a problem when crossing.

I carry two 30 lb. bottles on the front of my trailer and had no problem crossing with them. I also had a 5 gallon can of gas for my generator plus 35 gallons in my truck. Maybe I just got lucky

What do they do with full gas cans? Confiscate them? Sounds absurd.

We cross all the time with propane tanks both for the trailer and the grill. I also cross with gasoline in approved containers for both the generator and an outboard boat motor.

"I have been told that you can't cross the border into Canada with full fuel cans "

Told by whom?

I'm free of prostate cancer for 5 years now.
All men over age 50 should get an annual PSA blood test. Mine had a low reading, but the yearly jump was significant. The biopsy showed cancer just entering the aggressive stage. Dr. Hackenslash removed it.

Whoever told you that is just plain wrong! We have crossed that borderalmost every year - sometimes 2 or 3 times - since 1991 - always with propane on the fiver and a full jerry can of gasoline in the bed of the truck. NEVER been questioned!
