Older Coleman Stoves.

[Crankn]

Just curious, Can a person burn unleaded gas in an older Coleman stove with the red Tank? Thanks for your answers in advance.:;:huh

No but you can burn kerosene, number 1 diesel or coleman cooking fuel.
I believe gas would be to toxic and too volatile to control the output. If you would like to try and let us know if it works I would like to know.

What is the difference between the older ones and the dual fuel stove that can burn unleaded?

After doing a little more research this lady had the same question as you did and yes you can burn gas in the red tank but tubes that run from the tank to the burners would clog up a need to be cleaned or replaced. So yes you can burn gas in a red can Coleman camping stove.

I wouldn't burn diesel that would be like burning diesel in a heater in an enclosed building. Kerosene or similar makes more sense

Switch it to propane I did that on my antique and never looked back

Could a person use a gererator tube from a dual fuel stove

I am curious as to why bother, a new stove is rather affordable, cooking with gasoline sounds yucky

 

[Crankn]

Yeah I know when I was looking at replacement parts most all the parts are the Same part no. for both models.

A single burner Coleman is still nice for a fry pan, but the Weber Q with griddle is awesome for cooking almost everything.

And even with all the advancements in LED technology, I still like using my Coleman lantern the best of all. It lights up the entire camp.

I usually only keep 2 gal. of white fuel. Would only use gas in an emergancy In a prolonged power outage.

I hate having to fill fuel and then pumping it --- and all that. SAme with the lanterns --- propane the only way to go.

I just don't like the idea of fire and pressurized gas. I'll stick with propane.

Yes it is but I feel better using pre filled propane cans.
