Just don't go "too overboard" on the tools; US border guards don't like it when it looks like you're coming in looking like you're going to work.
Just a tip.

I'm well aware. It will all be in my spare tire well and by compressor i mean a little portable 12v tire inflator
Border guards are dicks in general so remember not to bring contraband or anything that they may think is sketchy

There is a way you can do it. The tank is ment to power ur car and also bring some documents off the internet about the dangerous goods in that bottle and what harm they do and proceedures you will require if there is a accident.
If you have all that they shouldn't have an issue with it. And if they do I have my tdg for canada and us so I could just take it threw but that will take longer getting through.

Personally, I've got dual citizenship so I very rarely get a hassle because I AM a US citizen. I go over 20+ times a year.
To those that aren't and only occasionally cross the border, be smart about bringing crap in and trying to skirt the system.
I've been at the border when they walk the drug dogs up and down the rows of cars waiting in line.
If you get pulled in and you're in an obvious group, you put the whole group at risk. Sometimes you are judged by the company you keep.
If you get pulled in and they find contraband (pot, hidden goods), it will (best case scenario) get seized and you'll get sent back. End of road trip.
Make sure your passport/enhanced driver's license is valid. They won't let you over without one of them. And if you've ever had a criminal record in the past (and even not) it's never a bad idea to visit your local OPP or police detachment and get a police clearance letter. Since 9-11 they don't screw around.
Not trying to be a killjoy, just trying to save you guys from getting a hassle.

I think I know what you mean here ... but just to be clear: you can cross the border today with a passport due to expire tomorrow.
What I think PEGA is getting at is the planning ahead part ... making sure now that your passport doesn't expire between now and the time you're coming back from FR12.
And yeah, you can get your new passport within a week - it will cost you $50 on top of the usual $85 renewal, and you will have to go to a special office and pick it up. For me, the closest office for pickup was in Mississauga so not too bad ... if it's the same for you Jamie that's a bit of a hike.

Hi, Guest
You could bring it, but be prepared for an explanation for it!
