YES Coleman fuel is in fact Naphtha thats far purer than crappy unleaded that these days has so many additives for the modern car engine that turn to gum in the genny of the Coleman ((it didnt happen with the old leaded petrol ))
not to mention the EXTREMLY toxic carcinogenic fumes given off when burnt in a Coleman
just more reasons to use Aspen T4 petrol that does not have any of the problems that unleaded does and is cheaper than Coleman fuel and of course much cheaper than gas
panel wipe has different prices its based on Naphtha the cheaper versions are cut with other products to reduce the price but the best quality panel wipe is more expensive than Aspen petrol so why buy an inferior product for more money ? I pay £18 for 5 litres for my Aspen from a lawn mower repair shop in Harefield
IMO 99% of problems with Coleman stoves are pilot error caused mostly by LACK of pressure if you have a yellow flame its the stoves way of saying pump me up dummy

Exactly why I stopped using mine. Good for Boiling but everything I cooked ended up burnt. Try Frying an Egg on it. 🤣🤣
Ditched my Coleman's a decade ago and bought gas stove for summer or BBQ and the double stove which has a far greater range from simmer to destroy. The Coleman's oven is good too. Just replace the generator every few years, although I do soak it in coke every couple of years and use a small amount of Redex in 5 litres of petrol.

Should you add Redex to the Aspen Gerry? Harefield is just up from me so will go and get some of this, I was using gas again up until the start of this season but it worked out expensive in comparison and was crap in the colder weather or first thing in the morning.

A lot of chainsaw guys etc use aspen 2 or 4 not only for its long life (5 years is often quoted) but also it's health benefits.
Many were reporting headaches using normal 2 stroke petrol especially in confined spaces such as gardens but with aspen no problems.
As Gerry says available from many garden machinery dealers.

Cheers Gerry, just looked this up and found it too. Will give them a call and check if they have stock. 👌
I used a Coleman about 15yrs ago and cannot remember any problems using it, my new one - struggles to get the balance at low output however using unleaded.

Another vote for aspen. My old stove works great on it
