If you have a Coleman gasoline stove, yes.
Except they use naphtha in Coleman fuel.
Improves vapor pressure thru burner....
Gasoline in recent years seems to be lacking the pressure it has had in the
past.
Which leads to coking in the heater tube running to the burner.
But then in years past ,lead was the problem ,when gas had severe vapor
pressure.
The reason folks bought "white gas" back then, for their Coleman. And added
paint thinner
for vapor pressure.
Aviation gas with benzene had the most pressure....can't even get that high
of octane ,
even for race tracks these days.
That is not to say Stanley and other steamcars didn't use longer(2.5 to3
times roughly) heater tubes to vaporize fuel oil.
With a "Coleman" gas burner for a pilot light.(Of course, Coleman didn't
have gasoline stoves during that
time.)
But then internal combusion gasoline engines didn't make more than 60hp off
the track.During that era.
Ford T's and A's ran 15hp.And could run almost any liquid including
kerosene.
Shame to see folks spenting more time on adding lacquer thinner/fingernail
polish remover. Than an engine that
will burn any liquid.Given the politics of gasoline supply, at this time.
