WILL THIS LANTERN BURN COLEMAN FUEL ?

This lantern is designed to burn KEROSENE only. Coleman fuel, pump gasoline, ect. should not be used in this lantern.

No, it only works with kerosene. Use of coleman fuel in a kerosene lantern would be extremely hazardous. This is a fantastic kerosene lantern, very bright. Requires preheat with denatured alcohol to light (thus the spirit cup at the base of the generator). Kerosene is much cheaper than coleman fuel and much safer because it is non-explosive. I highly recommend this lantern.

I have never tried burning coleman fuel in this lantern, and I wouldn't recommend trying it. The lantern is designed to burn Kerosene which is a heavier fuel than Naptha (coleman fuel). Since Kerosene has a higher heating value than Naptha, this lantern uses a smaller fuel jet size to maintain a proper air/fuel ratio. If you want a lantern than can burn coleman fuel or unleaded gasoline, then I would recommend a coleman dual fuel lantern which is cheaper anyway.

Yes. Both have a pressure regulator built into the unit. I also use the same hose with my Coleman propane lanterns.

I haven't used it camping yet. I will know after Easter Weekend. It lights up ok, and it is small. Plus, you must have the bottom lined up just right to close it. The directions are important for this lantern.

I wouldn't try it. It might tip over. A lantern is much lighter. A gallon of liquid weighs about 8 lb. 2.5 gallons would be 20 lb and I think that would be too much.

I don't think so. You could probably put an LED lantern on the ground. It's a small tent. I would not use any type of lantern that gets hot.

Have to be attached, but it's quite easy to do. If it was pre-attached, I think some of the fuel would bleed on the paper and cause the lantern to burn up on the ground.

I have owned several different types of pressurized lanterns. This was the first Coleman kerosene powered lantern that I owned. You have to do approximately 30 pumps from empty. and then give it at least another 15 when you get it running. This is for maximum output. you can cheat in some ways you can buy An adapter for the filler cap that will allow you to fill it with a bicycle pump

This is what was listed on the box, Runs on Coleman Fuel or unleaded gas. I would recommend only using those 2 options.

No kerosene shouldn't be burned in these lanterns. Only the recommended lantern oil should be used.

If your Coleman uses the small cylinders, it has a built in regulator. This hose with regulator is for a different application

I think so! It's just a candle that you light, so if you store it in a cool, dry place it should work. Keep it out of moisture because the lantern is a thin tissue paper. These were so much fun at my daughter's wedding.

Yes, this is a great choice! Like anything that creates heat it gets hot so act accordingly. I advise letting it run thru an entire tank to burn off all the oils before using inside a tent.

You could bait hooks, it would help if you had something to set it on, it does not shine like the old coleman gas lanterns at all,

When you unpack the lantern you will see the fuel source. On the frame ring there is a place to put the fuel source. It is very simple and directions are not required.

Not being a fisherman, I don't know. It does throw 390 lumens, and it's a fairly high color temperature. Coleman does make a bigger and brighter LED lantern, and I have seen it on Amazon before, but it runs a little less than twice the price. This one will probably work, but that one *for sure* should.

not a big deal, Bulbs are available thru Coleman- even the one that someone complained about. My lantern works fine

Excellent question. I will wait to see answer before buying this lantern as I want to use rechargeable batteries with it.
