    I scored this Coleman powerhouse on gumtree the other day for $25AUD. I put new mantles on it and some shellite in it and away it went! What a bargain! I fired it up tonight by the BBQ with a beer! Happy Days! Cheers Dave IMG_0828.JPG

    @Phredd

    Shellite is pure naphtha, so we Aussies use it instead of Coleman fuel.

    Cheers

    Yes Jeff. I think it was only used a few times and it still had a few drops of shellite in it so it should run good! Thanks Dave

    Nice find. Regardless of the fuel claims, stick to straight Coleman Fuel or your local equivalent and it will outlast you.
