I was making some last minute (procrastinated) prep steps for the winter and with the recent storms in the northwest, I came across an old book called “Making the Best of Basics” circa 1974 and found the following information.

Coleman 2 Mantle Gas Lantern (Model Used—Unknown) 1 Gallon should last about 40 hours burning time at a rate of 5 hours each day. The amount of fuel (White Gas) consumed is approximated below.

TIME PERIOD & AMOUNT CONSUMED
Day: 1 Pint
Week: 1 Gallon
Month: 4 Gallons
Year: 50 Gallons


Using a 2 Burner Coleman Gas Camping Stove (Model Used—Unknown) in use for 4 hours per day should use the following amount of fuel (White Gas) which is different from the lantern.

TIME PERIOD & AMOUNT CONSUMED
Day: 1 Quart
Week: 2 Gallons
Month: 8 Gallons
Year: 96 Gallons

Of a more interesting note was the following info.

A kerosene lantern with a 1” Wick will burn approximately 45 hours on 1 quart of kerosene at a burning time of 5 hours per day.

Now if I could find information on how long Coleman Fuel can be stored for, I would be well informed! Ideas?
