    Coleman stove orange flame

    I'd guess it is related to not getting enough air but dont know how that stoves blends air and propane to get complete combustion.

    white gas(coleman fuel)=unleaded fuel

    You can use gasoline in the kerosene coleman pressure lanterns, you just have to use the preheater cup as if it were kerosene.

    white gas(coleman fuel)=unleaded fuel

    Yep, it works but will dirty things up a lot faster. Some are hesitant to cook over gasoline, but looking at the MSDS of Coleman fuel doesnt give me the warm and fuzzy for it either. I have an old Coleman 200 that has run on nothing but gasoline for maybe 10 years, hasnt really been a problem...

    Subaru Forest Questions

    I can answer one of the downsides, not near as much power. But the miles per gallon of the 2.5 rocks

    1 Gallon/5lbs Propane Tank Inside Van?

    I would not do it on a permanent basis. Any spark could set the fumes off should you have a leak. The propane is heavier than air so it will pool in the lowest areas. It's a lot harder to over fill modern tanks, but if a pressure relief valve should let go through a fault, yu got a problem

    Colorado diesel narrowly beats Tacoma in head to head comparison

    I'd guess rock crawling is a very small segment of the market. I would have to drive 800 miles just to find rocks to crawl on. Here most who actually use the truck in 4WD do so on the deer lease or ranch.

    Wrist watches for the adventure-minded?

    Who the f-awk needs/wants a cell phone. The second my work day is done, I ditch the f-awker. If you want to drag an electronic cow bell around on your *** all day long, more power to ya.

    Colorado diesel narrowly beats Tacoma in head to head comparison

    I dont have a problem with buying used or new, just prefer to let someone else take the depreciation now. In the past I have had jobs that required me to buy new, well they didnt require it, but made it where new reimbursed better than used. The runzheimer reimbursement program paid less per...

    Adrift in Space

    Truer words were never spoken. At 60 years old now, everyone calls me Mister and Sir. I still feel much like I did 30 years ago, other than all the abuse I heaped on my body before 30 has come home to roost. One advantage, I can tell when the weather is going to change and never have to worry...

    [YEAR 7!] Quit our jobs, sold our home, gone riding...

    If you decide to hang it up, it's been a heck of a journey. And for the reader following along, fun and interesting. I can understand a bit of desire for the normalcy of routine, thanks and good luck no matter your next steps.

    Wrist watches for the adventure-minded?

    You can polish it a life time before it gets thin enough to worry about. I have a Zeno 300 diver that has been polished with Camco 210+ polish two times a month for the last 20 years.

    Colorado diesel narrowly beats Tacoma in head to head comparison

    Resale is kind of a relative thing, 300,000 mile trucks dont resale for a fraction of new cost. I have a 04 Tacoma, great truck and worth a good deal more than I would pay for it. I can buy a new Frontier for a less than a used Tacoma, but I can get a used Frontier at a decent deal. I'm not...

    Colorado diesel narrowly beats Tacoma in head to head comparison

    Much the same with me. They are a consumable for my needs, similar to socks and underwear. I try to buy something comfortable and well built and ignore all the built in butt scratchers and ear warmers. If you buy new, resale is a fallacy, and when I finish off my 5 to 7 years with one, theres no...

    Camp Chef Bulk Propane Pressure

    If the regulator has a surge protector it could be creating conditions similar to a leak. The overfill protection device on the tank can also create the problem described, its just a ball float that can activate on a full tank that isnt sitting level or liquid tries to enter your valve on the...
