    These really are pretty impressive. If you buy one and regular gas has been used you can soak the wick in denatured alcohol to soften it back up and remove the fuel varnish, they don't work when they are hard and gummed up. And you can prime the head a number of times with the same alcohol, (pour some on OUTSIDE) and light it and let the impurities burn off. Mine went from greyish black to white on my 511a. and now will stay lit and is very useful. As a second side note 5000btu is the same as a 1500w electric heater, so a very reasonable amount of heat.

    The vid may be random as you say, but it's exactly what I was looking for. I just picked one of these up in near mint condition for 10 bucks, when I saw that 70's design I knew I had to have it, but not what I had. Thank you for the detailed walkthrough. I'm so excited to try it out.

      @@nicarob4257 That's the reason why I ended up getting two indoor paraffin heaters. Purchasing Coleman fuel in the UK is difficult and expensive. Paraffin isn't so cheap either but is still cheaper than Coleman fuel and so much easier to find.
      It's a nice little heater if you live in an area where the proper fuel is reasonably priced and easy to obtain, although once opened, apparently the fuel degrades rather quickly nicarob.

    That warning was placed on the cap in the days of leaded gasoline. Even now it is best to use ethanol free unleaded, or remove the ethanol yourself, it attracts water - not good for the wicking.

      I put mine between my feet in my floorboard with an improvised wool blanket tent over my steering wheel and back of my seat. Lasts two nights for 75cents worth of gas and no chance of fire. Accidentally dropped a napkin on top with the cover off once and although a little brown at the edges did not even come close to catching on fire. Sleep like a baby . SAFE and the ONLY way to go. Trust me. I've tried all of these lil tricks.

    When a company tells you not to use gasoline, and you don't see any functional difference between Coleman fuel and gasoline, it's because the sale of Coleman fuel is their lifeline. Regular unleaded gasoline from you gas station works on this with zero issues. That's what I use to heat my garage. The only reason you will not want to use gasoline is if I have to use it inside my house. Gasoline has a residual smell. In fact I don't know if Coleman fuel does not leave a smell as well. I have never used Coleman fuel. All I have used is gasoline with no issues.

      The closest thing I can think to what you’re asking is a stove fan. A stove fan converts thermal energy to electricity in such a way that it is able to power the fan to circulate the heated air.
