The Coleman type fuels have stabilizers added for long shelf life. I still have a can I bought on sale years ago for $.79 that still works great. I bought like 50 cans 'cause it was cheap. Anybody know what you have to do to old style stoves, lanterns and heaters to convert to unleaded gas.

Years ago, when I was just a snip of a kid, we had a gas station and sold white gas. It was used in Coleman lanterns mostly.
We also sold kerosene, which was dispensed in a separate pump and stored in a barrel. Kerosene isn't as explosive as are gasolines, but is still very flammable. Kerosene was mostly used back then for kerosene heaters. I always considered it similar to fuel oil. It would not be good for use in conjunction with Speed Dip, as it would take a long time to dry and it would probably leave an odor.
Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.

I sure bought more then one 5 gal can of blazo in my life I do not remmeber the square cans by the time I moved to Ak it was in blue round 5 gal cans but the boxes are highly sought afterby locals here for their many uses. I have a couple one in the shop is filled with rope for sleds and nets not sure where the othere is off the top of my head but my wife is constantly looking for them. I do remmeber going camping with my parents as a child and my big brother and I had to walk down to the gas station and pump a gal of white gas into a jug from the pump marked white gas prior to leaving. I simply got to go so I was out of everyones hair for a bit as I coulden't sit still waiting to go
We get out of life only as much as we really want and work hard enough to achieve

That $.79 price was from the mid 70's.
What is the actual difference in the generators or orifice?
