To travel with your petrol powered equipment, you must adhere to the following instructions:
1. All tanks must be drained and left uncapped, and left in a drain position for a minimum of two (2) hours.
2. All tanks must then be ventilated for a minimum of six (6) hours OR purged using compressed nitrogen gas.
3. All external surfaces must be cleaned using a waterbased degreaser to remove any fuel or oil residue. Appropriate cleaning products are featured here (food grade, waterbased).
4. The spark plug must be removed from the unit and presented at check-in.
Should your equipment NOT meet this minimum standard, or in the event that it emits a strong or chemical odour, check-in staff WILL refuse check-in of your item.
