In reply to captain paranoia:
Hey up captain, thought you'd be jumping on a stove thread!
OP I've a coleman 533 stove and a coleman powerhouse twin mantle lantern that I have always ran on petrol. Had the stove 20 years and the lantern 15 and apart from mantles and a glass globe I have never had to get spare parts. The stove got a bit spitty once and I stripped it and put the vapouriser tube and other small bits in carbareter cleaner overnight and its been fine ever since. The stove gets used for car camping and melting lead for casting sea fishing weights, the lantern is for fishing off the beach at night. I see it that petrol can be got from anywhere in the world and the saving made over these 15-20 years I've used it would buy me a new stove and lamp if they suddenly broke now.
They live in the shed next to my camping gaz blue thing, camping gaz camp kitchen, pocket rocket, jetboil, triangia, coke can stoves, folding BBQ....
Wouldn't mind but I usually end up eating in the pub!!
