I realise that but my point was that unless something that once contained an inflammable or explosive vapour can be 100% guaranteed (and certified) to have all traces of that vapour removed then it must be shipped as UN3363.
As lowfat rightly stated. When it comes to DG shipping, there is never any common sense applied. If an appliance or piece of machinery contains, could contain, or did contain fuel then it must normally be assumed that despite it being removed, some still remains and this it has be shipped as DG.
DG in limited quantities, but still DG and any reputable airline who see any used fuel related component that hasn't been packed and certified as DG will refuse to accept it for carriage.
