Turns out it's not the stove, that's making the noticeable smell. It's the funnel, which has been contaminated by filtration of ancient gasoline....
Compulsively thorough! Hoping the next poor schmo working this problem, is saved some pain. Coming back to the car 40 minutes later, I smelled...
The Coleman can did have a sort of piece of foil to seal the fuel with. But it was not glued down, or something that had to be removed. It was...
An ACE Hardware store had 2 cans of expensive Coleman fuel, buried on a low shelf. $19. They had different date codes that I don't know how to...
I hate to have to be the one to point out a basic problem of metallurgy, with an otherwise compelling DIY project attempt. But if you combine...
And now a distraction from the weighty subject of perfect fuel cap seals. Weeeel until they get themselves killed. It's a sad thing in National...
9:20 AM. Brisk morning, 54*F, no direct sun. A somewhat accurate simulation of sleeping overnight on a cool fall day, although I might have had...

I used to think that was the dark side! Back in 2010 I saw that sporting good stores were making it hard to buy a traditional Coleman fuel stove...
