Read a post on a you tube the other day. Guy said he was using white gas in his small engine 2 strokes. Any body here do that or have some thoughts on it. Last I bought was 4or 5 years ago and it was about 13-14$/ gal . It was for my Coleman’s.
Some Colman stoves and lanterns can use gasoline.My family had an Amoco station in the mid 70s. The Premium was lead free and many called it "white Gas". I and others used it in Coleman lanterns with no problem - it was lead free. Octane was at least 100 as I recall. That being said, I would not recommend using real Coleman fuel in an engine.
We had an Amoco station here "back in the day" that sold "white gas". It was real good fuel, and wouldn't go bad in small engine fuel tanks/storage cans over the winter.My family had an Amoco station in the mid 70s.

Actually most can, at least for awhile anyway, until their thin generators clog from all the additives in gasoline. The dedicated duel fuel varieties of Coleman stove and lanterns use a fatter generator to prolong the eventual necessary cleaning of the generator. OM617YOTA is correct with the very low octane rating of Coleman fuel at around 50. NFS (not for saws)Some Colman stoves and lanterns can use gasoline.
DidJa type that all from Memory? For some reason I figger ya did..
You struck a match and put it to a lantern full of gasoline? Thats nuts!My family had an Amoco station in the mid 70s. The Premium was lead free and many called it "white Gas".

In this case it's benzin-White Gas is a petroleum naphtha product. Typically has an octane rating of 50-55. It does not contain the additives found in gasoline (aromatics, MTBE, etc.) However, small amounts of benzene may be present in White Gas.
I would NOT run White Gas in an internal combustion engine.

Regular gasoline works fine in colman stoves, and lanterns, burns a little dirtier, and you shouldn't leave it in the tank for very long, but it works just fine, not anymore dangerous then the "white gas" or "Colman Fuel" Hell that stuff is way more dangerous then regular gasoline, burns hotter and lights easier.You struck a match and put it to a lantern full of gasoline? Thats nuts!
White gas is no safer than gasoline. Coleman lanterns are built to be safe with this fuel. Blowing up customers is bad for business.You struck a match and put it to a lantern full of gasoline? Thats nuts!
Gasoline hasn't contained mtbe in decades. Aromatics are presnt, but at miniscule levelsWhite Gas is a petroleum naphtha product. Typically has an octane rating of 50-55.
