Title: Kerosene???
Post by: Rooster on August 23, 2008, 07:41:31 PM: I bought a bottle of "Coleman Premium Blend Fuel" it comes in a red 32oz bottle and I also bought a lamp. The back of the bottle says "Do not use in kerosene, alcohol, or lamp/stove oil appliances". And my lamp says use Kerosene or Lamp oil. Does this mean that I cannot use this bottle in my lamp? I've never used an oil lamp since I was born into the age of battery lamps lol.

USE KEROSENE OR LAMP OIL.
