Reminds me to get a gallon of Coleman fuel. Sealed, to carry with me. Pure naphtha cannot foul, go bad, or gum, in a hundred years. I learned this trick from Pacific loggers, who sneer at the idea of using storage additives or "draining the fuel". Jesús, cannot believe his dive compressor starts on the first pull after storage for nearly a year in the tropics. No, the engine does not run under load with naphtha - after starting regular gasoline takes over. "Sta-Bil" in the tropics helps gasoline, but after three months even with triple strength dosing, the stored fuel is a lost cause.
