- Our old propane camp stove died recently (actually, the regulator died
- and the repair would have cost more than a new stove - don't you love it
- when they force you to buy new rather than repair?) At the store this
- evening, we saw a Coleman Dual Fuel Campstove, which claims it can run
- on either Coleman cooking gas or unleaded automobile fuel, thus saving
- megabucks over propane. Is this dangerous? Doesn't car fuel have stuff
- in it that I don't want in my food? I thought propane was supposed to
- be clean burning, so I am a bit leery of this stove, although the cost
- savings in cooking fuel would be tremendous if it is safe. (The stove
- costs about the same as a propane one.) Any ideas out there?
