Coleman Dual Fuel Lamp

[toptec]

Just bought one of these of a good member on here, anyone got a list of what fuels could be used other than the ones stated in the destructions?
I have run it on panel wipe "very impressive" but it's not the cheapest by far. Anyone got any ideas?
Over to you luverly lot

Naptha panel wipe and Aspen 4T petrol are your only alternatives to unleaded. I use Aspen but retailers are thin on the ground.

You are restricted to petrol, coleman fuel, panel wipe or aspen. Petrol will eventually clog up thee tube but as petrol is so much cheaper and the tube cheap to replace it is worth using it.

i use Aspen in mine, there is a good dealer locater here http://www.aspenfuel.co.uk/dealers/dealer-locator/

People do say that unleaded will clog it up but I've used a dual fuel two ring stove, dual fuel 443 stove & dual fuel lanterns on only unleaded every year since about 1999. Some years it's every day for a month plus the other trips. The only servicing I've needed to do is on the pump so I can recommend them.

+1 on Aspen 4. NOT Aspen 2 as it has 2 stroke oil in it.

I have just got some of each and will be revieweing it very soon.

What do you mean by panel wipe ? Thinners or a tcut type fluid ? My mate has a refinishing company.....I'm wondering if it's something they may use ?

I believe its a thinners type of fluid used for degreasing panels prior to painting

Don't get the water based panel wipe or it just don't ... work

It burns clean and if you spill it won't leave a stink like petrol and won't clog your stoves or lanterns its well worth the dosh; go for it

LOL I could name a guy from the Suffolk Group that tried some of the " Clean Sprit" in a Paraffin lamp.. and wondered why it would not light..
