I was only kidding about the sticker - you need to be carrying over 25 litres before you have to consider one :-) I routinely carry 30l of liquid nitrogen, so I have one on a magnetic backing which I can stick on/remove. <http://www.bcga.co.uk/publications/carriage.pdf> AFAIK there are no legalities to worry about re. carrying a bigger extinguisher (< 25l). But it would personally worry me to carry a large one in the car on a regular basis. -- Grunff
