I don't know what is in bar-b-que charcoal lighter.
Coleman lamp fuel appears to be mostly naphtha but may have
other stuff in it. Naphtha is related to gasoline and should
be handled accordingly. Do NOT use it in a Kerosine lantern!

Richard you have me curious now. The charcoal lighter fluid bottle didn't say
what kind of petroleum it used in it. Its no where near Coleman fuel. We used
to refer to it as white gas, which I believe is what largely is. May have some
other additives, but IIRC from my youth its been purified to get a lot of the
impurities out of it that would clog up the lantern and other camping equipment
parts. Though there were a few makes that said you could use auto gas in them,
when I did they always seemed to cause problems.
There are good reasons they call them Kerosene lanterns. Even I haven't tried
that lol.
