saws with mind of their own

Huh. I didn't know that today's standard pump gas was suitable for lanterns and stoves. Thanks, Al.

Does the octane matter?
I would still use the stove fuel over pump gas/ unleaded, yes it can be used, but its still got quite a few additives that you dont need to run your stove/ lanterns with, and they will clog the generators over time.

Have restored a few coleman stoves, single, dual and triple burners and lanterns over the years, and many other pressure kero and aladdin lamps too.
 
The pump gas has extra additives that degrade over time and cause varnish etc, not good for stoves/ lanterns, where as its often burned in a car before the fuel starts to oxidise too much.

yes you can run pump gas, but ive had to clean out many generators that were used fine on pump gas till they didnt work well anymore, and they smell worse when you shut them off too on pump gas.
