How To Recycle JetPower Fuel Canisters

JetPower fuel canisters must be empty and holes punctured to release all residual fuel before canister can be recycled. Recycling rules vary, please check with your local municipal or county waste facility to ensure full compliance with recycling regulations in your region.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Ensure the fuel canister is EMPTY (by using until, with valve fully open, flame extinguishes on Jetboil Cooking System or other acceptable appliance).

  1. Carefully thread CrunchIt tool onto the empty canister. A SMALL amount of residual fuel may vent during threading - this is normal.
  2. If venting of fuel during tool threading does not cease within a few seconds, DISCONTINUE VENTING AND CAN RECYCLING by unthreading the CrunchIt tool, and re-attempt to use up fuel completely on the cooking system or appliance. Do not attempt to puncture canister until fuel canister is COMPLETELY EMPTY.
  3. ONLY AFTER THE VENTING OF FUEL HAS CEASED DURING TOOL THREADING, continue threading CrunchIt tool completely down onto the canister until resistance to threading is felt and rotation stops. Then press down on CrunchIt handle to puncture canister. Puncture canister in 3 - 4 well-spaced locations to ensure canister is easily recognized as empty.
  4. Recycle Canister as you would a tin or steel can according to local ordinances.* CrunchIt™ Recycling Tool is only for use on Canisters that meet the EN417 Standard (standard, threaded butane/ propane fuel canisters).Jetboil guarantees compatibility with Jetboil Jetpower fuel canisters only. NOT compatible with 1lb. (450g) propane cylinders or any other propane cylinder.
