Anyone know where I can find some Coleman fuel (not propane) on the South Shore?

No Walmarts have them down here anymore. Kid at Dick's had no idea what I was talking about. Found quarts at Benney's at $6.95 each. Finally found Gallons at Bass Pro $12.95

Good thread.
The stuff lasts a long time; get it when you see it, not when you need it.

Last time I was looking for white fuel I was told by a Kmart worker that the stuff has so many regulations attached to it that they can only have 3? Bottles in any one place, hence why most don't carry it anymore. I've seen it at BPS, some Wal-Mart's, dicks, etc... mostly it's seems to be hit and miss based on individual stores

If you really want to make them scratch their head ask them for "white gas".

Never use Coleman (white gas) fueled lanterns, stoves, or heaters, indoors, without open windows or positive ventilation. They are not like a natural gas or propane stove that burn much cleaner and produce much less carbon monoxide.
They're not practical in cold weather. Too dangerous, don't take a chance. Everyone should have a CO detector.

Yes, even use outdoors in a tent could be life threatening, without opening flaps, vents, and windows.

Read the warning on the can. Are you serious you would use fuel indoors ? Are you famaliar with the gas your car gives off whèn it burns gasoline ? Its called carbon monoxcide! It displaces the oxygen in the air and since your body happens to be using that oxygen guess what happens to your body whèn its starved of said oxygen ?

And lanterns here.
I have a 2 burner stove, a one burner one and a lantern all from the 80's and they all work every time. Just had to change out the gaskets when i didn't use them for 10 years and they all started first match.... simple and built to last

What Can? Never even see the stuff, that is why I was asking. Thanks mr Scientist.
Do they still make stoves and lanterns that take it? I remember camping with the fam back in the day. We had a stove that took it. I remember having to use a little pump to pressurize the fuel tank to run the stove. Propane is so much easier these days...

Not only that but you can buy replacement parts so you don't have to throw the stove out after only 20 years of service.
Tru that! I just picked up some spare mantles at the local Walmart for my dual mantle white fuel lantern. You know, the ones that are always showed running in Chuck's house on "Better call Saul."

You can get the lanterns and stoves at WalMart. They also have some repair parts for the more-current models (pumps, globes, etc) there.
the prices on the mantles at wallyworld are much better than a lot of other places.
If you have an older unit, there is a lot of stuff online to keep it running.

I got my first Coleman Lantern for my 13th birthday for Boy Scouts. My parents bought it with green stamps. It's still working and I just had my 62nd birthday.
