Gas Canister Contents Chart

Fellow paddlers and campers.

For those outdoor adventurers who use gas canister stoves and lanterns, it can be difficult to know how much gas is left in a partially used canister.

Please see below a chart I made to show the amount.

You will need access to a small weigh scale which measures ounces or grams.

Canister fuel chart:

Small canister full = 7.4 oz / 210 grams

Small canister empty = 3.5 oz / 100 grams

Large canister full = 13.1 oz / 372 grams

Large canister empty = 5.3 oz / 150 grams
