How do you know how much isobutane is in a full canister (i.e., how much if fuel wht and not cannister)?

If a isobutane canister says 4 oz, does that mean it has 4oz of fuel or is that fuel+canister weight?

And I assume that is 4oz of wheight, not volume, right?

Isobutate/Propane fuel amounts are usually presented in terms of net weight.

  • The small canisters are usually 3.5oz ~ 4oz (100g ~ 110g).
  • The medium canisters are usually 7.75oz ~ 8oz (220g ~ 230g).
  • The large canisters are usually around the 16oz range (~450g).

The amount of fuel depends on the brand, but that's a general guideline. Most of the "big name brands" will list both the net weight of the fuel and the gross weight of the canister and the fuel.
