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.

My pressurised Coleman lamp and stove both run on either unleaded petrol or white spirit. Definately not kerosine. There are particular lamps and stoves that run on kero but here in Australia the modern ones seem to be either unleaded petrol or white spirit.
