- Along a not-so-similar line...
-
- I have heard that unleaded will work in a white gas stove, but the reason
- that stove manufacturers don't recommend it is that white gas (ie Coleman)
- is more finely filtered, and you run the risk of clogging your stove using
- unleaded.
-
- I have an Optimus 8R I picked up for $1 (yes, that's right), that has a
- built-in cleaning wire. Could I use unleaded in this stove, and then rely
- on the self-cleaning wire for cleaning after clogging?
