Lantern fuel?
Can foreshots and heads be used to as fuel in Coleman lanterns?

Re: Lantern fuel?
Id say yes and no ..from a potty forget it...from a good reflux still at high ABV it will work, Ive tried it in both my lanterns and coleman stove. Mine still didn't run quite as well as the stove spirit you can buy, but was ok. Try it and see how you go.

Re: Lantern fuel?
If anything I was hoping to produce light with it if possible other than use it as a candle.

Re: Lantern fuel?
Unless you have a 100% sealed room that is practically never opened, odds of depleting oxygen inside of your average home with a gas lantern is extremely low. The CO2 buildup is pretty much also a non-issue. As you know, the real issue is CO.
Rate of CO production is going to determine on the fuel used, amount used, and efficiency of the burn. CO is deadly in small doses because of the blood's high affinity for it, which displaces oxygen carrying capacity. For this reason, it only takes a few hundred PPM to cause death over an extended period of time, because the CO builds up and hangs in your system for a while.
