Anyhow, a friend just got one of these old stoves and wants to know what
to burn. *I know Coleman fuel is costly, and gas stations no longer sell
the stuff called "white gas".


Yet, no gasoline contains lead anymore, and it's all white in color.
(actually clear). *Therefore, I cant see why a person cant just use any
standard unleaded gasoline?


When unleaded first became available we used it in our Coleman with no
ill effects for a few years.


Only ill effects are you and everyone near you were exposed additives that
are hazardous to one's health.


Like those same chemicals are not pouring out of the exhaust pips of
millions of cars and trucks everyday?
