Coleman Liquid Fuel

[85_Ranger4x4]

I've been wanting one of these for a while. The smaller size might be easier to pack on trips. Seems like they're usually listed for $80 or more around here. This one was listed for $40. I got it for $35. Needs some cleaning.

The seller buys abandoned storage units and sells the contents. She had a few other lanterns, including a pair of 220's that need globes @$10 for the pair. I almost took them, too. But really don't need them.

They are neat, mine is a great runner. Like 3/4 the light of a dual mantle on 1/2 the fuel and 1/2 the mantles (fuel has gone nuts lately in price too)

However the older ones (my '61 is in that category) are a little taller than the newer ones that can use the same carry case as a 288. So I rarely take mine anywhere since I don't have a case it fits in (and don't really have time to make one)



Yours has the newer/smaller vent so it would fit in a 288 case.

Thanks for the info about the case.

No no, its fine. I can quit whenever I want...

Actually I pretty much have. I have a backlog of lanterns I need to work on and its been awhile since I have found anything new worthwhile to bring home.
