Running Coleman Dual Fuel Lantern on unleaded gas??

[TacoMe]

I just ordered one of these on Amazon and it states dual fuel. Then I started reading reviews and people saying "emergency" use for unleaded gas. Why is that? Is there a disadvantage of running on gasoline?

No clue, I have original propane burning lamp that I would say is at least 20 years old!

"White gas" is the old school name for unleaded. There was a time when you couldn't get unleaded from a gas station. The only difference is the Colman gas is filtered where the gas station fuel could have debris from the station tank.
Make sure you pour it in using a strainer funnel. If you don't have one, use a coffee filter in a regular funnel.
