Checking the collective thinking here, how long is Coleman fuel "good"? Doug

A long time. I have a can for the 70's that is still good.

Ditto as long as it hasn't been contaminated with something.

I think Coleman says officially 7 years in an un opened can. That said, I lit my stove on the remnants of fuel in the tank that I know were somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 years old. Probably doesn't burn as efficiently at that age, but will burn well enough to do the job.
