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 )
Yes, gasoline works pretty good in a Coleman although it does smell.
There are many styles of Coleman Lanterns made. They were first made back in the 1950's and were made from materials such as nickel, ceramic and stainless steel.
There isn't really a best per-say, but different kinds of Coleman Lanterns favor different situations. They are all good lanterns, I wrote a review about some of these on my HUB, you can go check it out.
No, unleaded gas should not be used as a substitute for Coleman fuel. Coleman fuel is a specialized white gas that is designed for camping stoves and lanterns, while unleaded gas is intended for use in vehicles. Using unleaded gas in place of Coleman fuel can damage your equipment and pose safety hazards. It's best to use the recommended fuel for your camping stove or lantern.
It is used primarily for fueling lanterns and camp stoves.

No, Coleman fuel, which is a type of white gas, should not be used in regular gasoline engines. It has a different chemical composition and combustion properties compared to standard gasoline, potentially leading to engine damage or poor performance. Additionally, using Coleman fuel in a gasoline engine may violate warranty agreements and emissions regulations. It's best to use fuels specifically designed for your engine type.
The Coleman 220J195 lantern typically uses Coleman white gas, also known as naphtha, as its fuel source. This fuel is designed for use in liquid-fueled lanterns and provides bright, consistent illumination. It's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for fuel type to ensure optimal performance and safety.
No, Coleman fuel is a naptha and only has an octane rating of about 50. Additionally there are no additives in the fuel. Using this white fuel in a gasoline engine will burn valves.
It is not safe to put gas in a container designed specifically for storing kerosene. Gasoline contains additives that can degrade the plastic container, potentially leading to leaks or other safety hazards. It is best to use containers specifically designed for storing gasoline.
