Well truth be known I was using both.  I put the charcoal
lighter fluid on the coals, came in and got my trusty
Zippo to light it with.  Realizing it was empty, I filled
it an then took it out to light my charcoal.  I had
spilled just enough for it to light on both the side of
the lighter and what was left of it on my hands. Thing is 
when your brain goes in park, you better watch it.  It
wasn't much, but it didn't take much either LOL.

The point was the stuff really lights off easy and burns
hot so just watch what you use it around with your brain
in any gear but park LOL

lighter fluid ... charcoal grill.


   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!

Kerosine and Coleman fuel are not the same. If you try using Coleman fuel in an ordinary railroad type lantern it will nearly explode, which makes me think it is closer to gasoline than kerosine. It think the Coleman fuel has some of the most highly volitile elements removed to reduce the chances of explosion. I think you are right that it is also formulated to prevent the deposit of stuff in the lamp. It probably works as a cleaning solvent but may need a second solvent to remove any residue it leaves. I am not sure what the difference, if any, is between "white gas" and naphtha.
