Which reminds me I have to fill the camper stove with Colman Fuel as a storms heading this way and power bound to get knocked out.
I am sure many have had good luck using Colman Fuel. Theres no harm in using it but be more careful. I am not going to prove anyone wrong. If Colman has changed to a non petrolium based Napha thats great.
It also is like government rating Alcohol content and proof rating in the Liquor buisness none match up. As 100 proof is not the same as 100% alcohol content. They all contain an mixed addative or bonding chemical aside from the 100%.
For Colman Fuel and Napha there are hundreds of MSDS reviews all not the same. I have looked many times at thier MSDS and aftermarket government review MSDS. Unfortunately Coleman is still a petrolium based Napha. Petrolium Fuel based means combustable addatives. Napha in most solvent based are similar but may not have or may have these same ingredients as it often comes from the same plant. Often times the solvent form has to conform to goverment regulations as to not be fuel based. Sometimes it slips through.
If you look at the end of Colmans own MSDS they specify it has small traces of certain combustable addatives for the fuel basis aside from the 100% by weight Napha.
Due to government regulations on these petrolium addatives they are still reviewed as White gas by the ratings. Thier 100% is based on weight.

I am sure some one will debate this but feel free to use Coleman or the Napha of your choice it is how it is sprayed and the safety methods you use that matter.
