Coleman fuel is a petroleum naphtha product marketed by The Coleman Company.
Coleman fuel is actually a complex mixture of light hydrocarbons that is distilled from petroleum. Here's a little tidbit from the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) right from Coleman: * Solvent naphtha (CAS #64742-89-8) 45-50% * Aliphatic petroleum distillates (CAS #64742-88-7) 45-50% * Xylene (CAS #1330-20-7) 2% * Toluene (CAS #108-88-3) 2% That's what is in the stuff.

Sorry, NO! Coleman stoves use a form of petrol known as "white gas". It can be bought as Coleman fuel. Normal petrol can work burnt burns badly and the additives are fairly foul.
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 )
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.
