Coleman Liquid Fuel 1L Liquid Fuel

Product Information

Formulated especially for Coleman liquid fuel appliances and with a lighter molecular weight than gasoline, kerosene and diesel fuel, it cannot be used as a substitute for any of those fuels, and would burn out the valves of a gasoline engine if used. Propane performs far better in cold temperatures, so if you will be needing to use your gas camping stove anywhere cold, you will need a propane/butane mix.

You would therefore expect Coleman’s Value Gas to have less propane than their Performance Gas, and that their Extreme Gas will have the most propane, right? If Coleman was in any way interested in not damaging their brand name, they shouldn’t have blamed me for their product having failed. To suggest it’s not compatible as it’s screw on like the majority of lightweight camping stoves is laughable. It has an octane rating of 50 to 55 and none of the additives found in gasoline, so causes less dirt build up and so less stove maintenance. Also known as white fuel, its petroleum naphtha and rust inhibitor mix means that it burns cleaner and hotter than other mixes.

We are only able to comment on the testing we have done in controlled conditions and hope you have confidence to continue to use Coleman gas in the future.

At best, not disclosing quite openly the limitations of their product also raises questions about their integrity. That was my failing to do even better due diligence when selecting that supplier, and I accepted full responsibility. Most burners will readily burn unleaded gasoline as a substitute fuel, however the additives can cause more carbonization inside the burner's pipes than white gas, and is generally not recommended without extra replacement pipes and service to clean the pipes every 30-40 hours.Remember, Coleman claims to have “tested the gas to an evaporation temperature of -5°c and a usage temperature of as low as -20°c.
