Yes, you can - but there is a catch. White gas and gasoline have a low flashpoint, that enables the vapor to light initially to preheat the generator tube (the brass tube from the fuel tank to the burners). The stoves operate on the principle of evaporating the liquid fuel in the brass generator tube, then mixing those fuel vapors with air before igniting in the burners producing that sweet whoosh sound and hot blue flames.
So, here's the catch - kerosene has a high flash point. If you run it through your cold Coleman stove, all it is going to do is get kerosene everywhere - what I do, is run a propane plumbers torch back and forth over the brass generator tube for about 30-45 seconds, then slowly turn on the fuel - you will be pleased to know that ounce for ounce kerosene is more energy dense than white gas, and your stove will run longer - again, the only way this will work is if you heat up that brass tube until it is almost cherry.

DO NOT USE gasoline in a Coleman lantern. Gasoline is highly combustible and might explode in your face. Use only approved fuel for Coleman lanterns.Some of the Coleman stoves are duel fuel which is Coleman fuel or unleaded gas. Either way, Check with Coleman first!!.You actuality can burn gasoline in ANY Coleman lantern. However it does not burn as clean, and it can cause buildup in the generator. This is not a major issue it can easily be cleaned with acetone. Thrust me this does work and it is safe. I have been burning gas in all of my Coleman stoves and lanterns for the last 15 years and I have never had any problem. ( do not use kerosene )
What type of energy conversion take place when kerosene stove is lit?
