Leaky gas canisters

[NorthernRaider]

You know these little portable cassette type cookers that use little tins of gas that clip into a gas compartment, have any of you had any of the gas canisters spring a leak, if so can you remember what make they were?

Sorry NR, those things always looked a bit dodgy to me so I've never had the pleasure of using one.
Are you finding re-occuring leaks with a certain brand?

I've had two start leaking inside the van when left in the tub in the back on hot days !!!

I've a few but never had a leak so far. I check them every now and again and they are still full. I do leave them in an enclosed space although I visit it rarely so they could leak without me knowing.

I've got a bundle stored in a filing cabinet (next to the cooker) which I check every so often.

This is the type of cooker:

and the gas cylinder:

The gas itself is soon to go "out of date", like tins I suspect that the contents will be fine but the canister integrety may be reaching it's shelf life.
