[QUOTE="Seadog, post: 3896359, member: 9018"] White gas isn’t temperamental like propane. It will work regardless of how cold it is. If you want reliability in extreme temperatures like you’re talking about white gas is the way to go. As for prices they’re all over the place. Newer stuff has Silver founts or tanks. That means it’s dual fuel. You Can run regular unleaded gas in it. It’s best to put a cap full of carburetor cleaner in with every refill to help prevent the generator from clogging. And if you’re not gonna use it for a long period of time it’s best to make sure to dump it so that it doesn’t rust out the tank or ruined the generator. As for price it is kind of all over the place. Just remember a new lantern is gonna run you about $100. A new stove closer to $200. So if you can find something that is used for less then that’s a deal. Cheaper the better. It’s all about condition. Mantels for the lanterns are still pretty cheap. You can still get four packs of number 21s out of Walmart for two or three bucks. I like the older pumps that are made of leather. They last forever. If they dry out you just need to oil them and they’re good to go. The new ones used plastic cups and when they were out they were out. So if you can find a good lantern for 20-30 bucks, same with the stove that looks almost new then that’s a super good deal [/QUOTE]
