There's a comment that hit my email, but doesn't seem to show up in this thread. ColinG wondered if a 236 could be converted to a 237 with a 237...
Mike, I see there are the 237,237A, and 237B. Will all of them work with kerosene/ camp fuel? Thanks.
Today I picked up this lantern for $10. It's a Coleman 220J from 1/78. It held pressure so I picked up some fuel and some mantles and now I've got...
Hey Mike, I read this but it had to sit in NY head a little before I thought to clarify, you can run either fuel without modification to the...
Thanks, Wim. Sounds like good advice. I do believe the manual more fully stated only use diesel under adverse conditions. I'm going to email the...
Hi Colin, Thanks for the info. I'm in the USA and I've only heard of panel wipe because of the UK folk on this site. I don't know that we have an...
Thanks Tony, so carburetor cleaner is for cleaning, not burning, got it. What about fuel injector cleaner? Ok, good to hear about Jet A, it's...
Are those additives in Jet A considered bad for the lamp, or bad for being around? I found the gas at the airport is 100LL, so contains lead, so...
Oh, now if I was out somewhere and had to use regular unleaded fuel, could I just add a splash of carb cleaner to the fuel to keep the carburetor...
Oh wow, really?! That's exciting news. It would certainly be a more affordable option for me. Do you know if it would be ok in tubular lanterns or...
I saw that Jet A has a flashpoint of 100°f, and that sounds too damn low so I guess shouldn't be used in a kerosene lantern for safety reasons.
In this instance I was thinking about good ol gas used for small craft, so, piston engine. But now that you mention Jet A is kerosene, is it safe...
Hi James, I think the fuel might be free of those other agents you mention as well because it's intended use is for airplanes and you can't have...
So I've been hearing that Coleman lanterns still gum up with unleaded fuel. Is this a result of the ethanol? I have a small airport nearby where I...
Thanks guys. So sounds like I might need a few things then. A Powerhouse for outdoors, a kerosene for indoors, and a sportster for cooking. I'm...
Thanks guys, that'll do the trick! Excellent service as usual, gratuities for you all.
I was wondering if there's a schraeder valve attachment for Coleman lanterns like I've seen for the Petromax style lanterns? I'm trying to find a...
I think I found a place and a decent price for a Butterfly lantern. I don't know that they burn gasoline properly or safely. I'll see if I can...
Oh, I'd also like to know if it's better to get a plated lamp or if the brass holds up just as well without the plating. Thanks.
Hello, I was looking at getting a new Petromax lantern, but seems nobody has any. I wanted to get one that could use like the britelyt with stove...
