    Best I found so far is Holts Brake cleaner on the Bay at £15.95 delivered next day. I bought three of these 5Lt cans recently and it really is next Day. Works well in all my old gasoline lamps. We had several running at Ipswich without any problems.
    White Spirit is NOT naphtha and will not work well in a Coleman of any persuasion. Aspen, panel wipe or brake cleaner is the way to go. 'Course you can always buy Coleman Fuel if you don't like money and wish to dispose of it in quantity. ::Neil::

    The Bartoline is a heavy naphtha with a flash point greater than 41C. The brake cleaner is a light naphtha with a flash point greater than 1C. I have not looked at the hazzard sheets for Aspen or panel wipe but I expect they will be a similar low flash point. ::Neil::

    I am using a full cap of Seafoam gas treatment on every full tank on my dual fuel lanterns using RUG (regular unleaded gasoline) and they work flawlessly. here is an attached image of the product I’m using.

    I think the point about using RUG in lamps isn't that it doesn't work... it works perfectly for a while... the problems will only show up after long term use. I used unleaded in a Shinabro stove for many years (usually on the family holidays) until it stopped working a couple of years ago. It's fixable but it's not an easy process and I sincerely wish I'd never used the stuff!

    Yes, gas treatment. It does the same thing as my suggestion in another post and you could use injector treatment, too. Actually, I think anything will work if it's for "gas treatment". Only a cap full is all I use. I've done this to my lanterns for years and never had any major generator problems.
