Are you posting from a phone? Any how a quick search of the forums using 'Aspen' or 'Panel Wipe' as the search parameters will yield a wealth of information...
I have owned three or four Coleman lanterns (there made about 45 miles from me) and I can tell you for a fact if you cant get one going, nine times out of ten, it is the generator. They are very inexpensive, and easy to replace. Start there.
Never fill them more than about 3/4 full. That will leave enough air space that you will have something to compress to keep it going.

I have a double mantle coleman lantern and always ran it on unleaded. However after a few years it got progressively dimmer until it was vertually useless.
I went to the local coleman stockist and they said with no hesitation it was the generator, I bought a new one for £7 and it was perfect again.
I now use the Aspen fuel that Rik reccommended.

Hi drew, found this company, i googled 'panel wipe suplies teeside' and got this https://www.mj-supplies.com/productsMore/product-114/Panel-Wipe-5Lt.html
Halfords don't do it, car paintshops use it, so you might even be able to get some from your local car bodyshop.
No, he always types like that! Remember, this is a bushcraft site, not a GCSE and Schooling forum!

Try Ebay item 250429043994
No connection with the vendor apart from being a previous customer.

Well done! £10.95 for the fuel and the same again for the postage. Still a huge saving on Coleman fuel considering I would have to drive 30 mile round trip to get it.

I've definately got to get some of this panel wipe stuff.
Before our last camp I spent £40 on three bottles of coleman and 4 packs of 2x mantles.
Even with a the 10% scout discount, thats a lot of cash!!
We currently have one lamp that burns ok for a while and then starts to "pulse" dim and bright until it blows out one of its mantles.
We'll be giving them all an overhaul this winter. They are annoying sometimes but they really are good lamps.
Anyone know a good cheap source of mantles?

Yep, know how it is
Its a bad sign though when you come across a stove (or stoves) in the garage/lockup you had forgotten you even had 
rancid badger
Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
fuel for (currently) 64p a litre, plenty of heat and light and so far, no failures or pulsing.
I know I made the right decision in choosing Vapalux now
Yes you can get unleaded petrol everywhere but you still have to decant it and the explosive risks are horrendous! also £1+ per litre?
So in answer to the OP: ebay your coleman and buy a decent vapalux
cheers
