How much does a full/empty jetboil canister weigh?
I have a bunch of partially-full Jetboil canisters from various trips, and I'm trying to figure out approximately how much fuel is left in each of them.
How much does a full canister weigh (fuel + canister), and how much does it weigh when it's empty (canister only)?
(For reference purposes, I think covering all canister sizes would be useful)

If you don't have a scale, you can still figure out roughly how much fuel is in each canister with a simple bowl of water. Drop a full canister in bowl of water and mark the water line. Then, drop an empty one in the bowl of water and mark the water line. This gives you your full and empty lines for reference.
Now you can drop each of your partially-full canisters in said bowl of water and mark the water line. Now you can estimate the amount of fuel in each one.
