Did not know that.. DO know Coleman fuel does not break down nearly as fast as Gasoline.
Last two months I spent the last Saturday sitting in an un-heated "Barn" passing out bags of groceries to folks in need.

The dual mantal propane provides lots and lots of Lumens
The Single Mantal Gas provides Lots and Lots of BTUs

I have one more propane I'll take with me if I need it..
My metal gallon can: at least 10 years old. The single mantal lantern closer to 30.
Short story of the night the lights went out in Detroit...
My daughter was in the middle of doing her homework.. She calld me at work (We have E-power) and I told her to catch a nap and I'd fix when I got home.. Afew hours later I got home,went out to the trailer and grabbed the tub marked LIGHTS.
Hung a couple of Coleman Lanterns in Living room on pre-existing hooks and she finished her homework
Next day she turns it in, all finished,, Her classmates are crying "But the lights went out we could not finish our homework)
Her first initial and grade for the day... both the same "A".
