We have aluminum tanks and normally fill with propane. But in French Polynesia and in Tonga the tanks were filled with butane as propane is not available there. Same tanks were again filled with propane in New Zealand.

Had to take our tanks to a dive shop to have the required engravings showing certification to New Zealand requirements. Cost about $20 NZD per tank to have them certified and engraved. Refills then no problem.
