Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Coleman Lantern Dual vs White Gas

I've had dual fuel lanterns and stoves since Coleman introduced them. I only used unleaded gas once. Absolutely can't spill the unleaded on your hands or gear. It's pretty hard to hunt most anything that can scent you if you smell like a gas station. Naptha, Coleman, Blazo, white gas leaves little or no smell if a little is spilled. I've also used a few kerosene powered lamps too. Most folks preheat with alchohol, One Canadian camp cook used a dab of fire ribbon. Best deal I've seen as a preheater. It also works on stove generators in extreme cold weather. FWIW. JM

Did I miss something here? Out here in the west I never knew anyone who used Colman fuel more than once.

We all used regular gasoline. Same thing in the Army. For the 27 years I was in, we only used and had assess to regular Gasoline.

I do remember a couple PVT,s trying to fuel the lantern with was it going and the fuel tank under pressure. Burned the GPM down both times.
