yes it is, you can safely use unleaded gas in a older Coleman stove or lantern with out worry . i normally run unleaded gas in my lanterns all spring while bullhead fishing and have ever since i was a kid . in fact i have unleaded gas in my stove now and i use it every weekend in my outfitter tent while hunting .sorry to say it but the two above are mistaken

No! Use #1 kerosene or 'white gas'.

I know there are models of Coleman stoves that specifically say they can use unleaded gasoline, but I was always under the impression the older ones had to use the Coleman fuel or kerosene. I personally wouldn't unless it said it was OK somewhere on it. I've cooked many a meal on a Coleman stove, but the thought of the fuel tank being so close to the flame AND under pressure has always weirded me out. I prefer a grate over coals, or a grill or smoker anyway.

Just to confuse you even more...I have used unleaded in my colemans with no problem. I would run some white gas thru it when you get home to clean it or do it by hand. I'm not sure about the #1 kerosene, never tried it.
