Carrying small gas bottle on Eurostar

why not contact Eurostar and ask them to be on the safe side.

no problem
They just ask you to ensure the bottle is not connected and turned on

Gas fuelled vehicles are not allowed but gas for camping is.

Your vehicle will be held back and put in the last coach(es) with the other campers and as you go through security you will normally be pulled over and asked to demonstrate that your gas bottles are turned off. With your van you will have to show that the main tank isolation valve is switched off.

No one has ever asked about or seen the small camping gaz canisters I use. The 907 is bigger but it will not be a problem.

Blimey Peter.......do you work for Eurotunnel 'elf 'n safety? 

No problem. We have just returned, and although we turned off the under slung gas tank, they only asked if I had turned it off , without any examination. On the return trip, I just turned of the three gas taps in the kitchen cupboard. Again, they just asked for confirmation that the gas was off. I did phone Eurotunnel with the gas off concerned , and they said , no problem, as they were prepared to go under the van to confirm gas off. In the end no problem .
