better stock up on lantern fuel as well Since gas has been unleaded I have burned gasoline in my Coleman lanterns and stoves. Well over 20 years and never had a problem. Usually get highest octane they have with no ethanol. Try to burn first and last tank with Star Brite Startron enzyme fuel treatment before/after storing. Same with all my small engine stuff.

Adam, unleaded gas will only work for awhile then they get plugged up. Even stuff marked dual fuel. Use white gas only. If you add a fuel stabilizer to unleaded gas it works a lot longer. It will plug up after the stove or lantern has set for awhile. Just like the carb on a lawnmower. You can take everything apart and soak the parts in a carb cleaner. A good cleaner. hundred bucks a gallon or whatever. Not the spray can. lots easier to just not use unleaded gas. If you have to make sure you can burn it on white gas afterwards for a few hours.

Only use unleaded that is sold as ethanol free also. ethanol is VERY corrosive, you will really have trouble.
