I am looking for name and information on an old camp stove . I have a leak in the tank i am fixing to put back into use but would like to know who made it The name is gone but the company logo it still on it. I would also like to know which fuel or fuels it was made for i smells a bit of diesel right now but was told it used gasoline.
When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.

The old stove is talked about in both links, the second link goes back to the first.

firefly, to me that looks more like a plumber's melting pot than a camp stove. In either case it burns white gas which is bad news in any case. I was given one just like it several years ago and I quickly passed it on to someone who wanted to hang it up for decoration. Propane is much safer to deal with.

Red 333 thanks for the information you hit it right on.
Gopher Slayer white gas is low octane unleaded fuel modern gas will work fine even with ethanol in it.

Reading on further is says it uses kerosene.

When did white, now unleaded gas suddenly become dangerous. Heck, the gas we get these days is hard to light with a match.
Consign it to the dump and buy a fish/turkey fryer. Better /higher BTU concentration, less time to re-melt, more production, cleaner, cheaper on fuel.

If you can be sure of fixing the leak on that old kerosene burner I would clean it up and use it. But I would stick with burning kerosene.
Sure propane might be easier and faster at times but that old kerosene burner can be used for many things other than just melting lead not to mention it is easy to transport instead of lugging a Propane bottle around and making sure the lines and valve is ok and yada yada yada.

Here is a post I put on the blog I share with Jim about my dad's old Kerosene stove.

When did unleaded gasoline become "white gas". I would not conflate those two ever!
Modern gasoline, if you can call it that, works excellent in white gas/Coleman fuel lanterns and stoves.
If that is a kerosene stove though, stick with kerosene or #1 diesel.
Brent, you must be younger than I (as are most folks!). Way back, all gasoline was white (clear), and a blend of 2 or 3 fractions of the crude oil distillation process. Then it was discovered that the addition of tetra-ethyl lead increased the no-knock (pre-ignition) qualities, and better pre-ignition quality was cheaper to provide that way rather than using pure iso-octane that sat the standard for 100-octane. To indicate that the gasoline was adulterated this way it was required that if a producer introduced tetra-ethyl lead into their gasoline, they must also put in a red dye. Soon, ALL pump gasoline was 'leaded', some more than others, so all pump gasoline was 'red' - if one wanted 'white' gasoline (for their Coleman lantern, for example - leaded gasoline would clog things up), there was a separate pump, sometime in the back of the station, for 'white' gasoline. I think...

Huh. And I always thought "white gas" was naphtha, like Coleman fuel. I remember my grandfather buying white gas at a regular filling station when I was a kid but it wasn't gasoline. A quick look at the infallible Wikipedia agrees.

Not trying to be ignorant, but why is propane so much safer? I always prefer the old style liquid fuels because they burn hotter especially when it's cold out.

White gas is not unleaded gas, and anyone that advises people to use unleaded in place of white in a gas stove, esp. in an ancient stove known to leak. That's just not responsible. DO NOT USE GASOLINE OF ANY KIND IN THAT STOVE.
I have one just like it.I burn coleman fuel,does a fine job of making coffee or melting lead.

Reminds me of the M1950 Squad Stove, issued by Uncle. It was intended to burn regular old gasoline, but will run on most anything that will burn. Being used by soldiers, I'm sure that they have been used with anything that will burn!

Echo, I know exactly what you are talking about, though I may not be quite as old as you. That said, white gas and unleaded gasoline of today are two wholly different animals and if you don't know that you can get hurt.
