Wondering about white gas products - still a market?

I have some Coleman Peak (Apex) type backpacking light-weight stuff and a bigger green coleman stove, and I don't camp much anymore. Just wondering if there is much of a market for used white gas equipment anymore. It seems everybody is using propane now. But with these being so small and lightweight I am thinking there still might be. I am going to try to sell them at a garage sale this weekend, but wondering if anybody is even interested anymore. Thanks for letting me know what to expect smile

I use white gas in my MSR stoves, but as far as the old school white gas stoves and lanterns, the market is limited. I like the ones I have, but I don't use them anymore. To big, heavy and loud. They work well, but systems have evolved.

I'm sure there is still a market out there for people who need gear or people who need parts.

I'll let you know what they go for after this weekend, if they even go...

Thanks for info! Merkman if the stove doesn't go I might hit you up for directions on that conversion.

I have the big coleman white gas, works great. I use it if we camp out of the truck or if I want to fry fish and not stink up the house with oil I'll do it in the garage. One gallon will cook a lot of food. I bought it used for 20 and I saw they still sell new for 80-90.

You can run unlead instead of white gas with no problems. Last time I bought white gas was in the 80s.

Can I do this even if it is not a model that says "duel fuel"?

Also Merkman, any chance you have some specific part numbers or info on making that conversion to propane?

They did not sell, but our "sale" was less than spectacular. We did end up giving some kids a lot of fishing stuff for pennies smile so that was cool. They were excited.

Thanks!

I have run unleaded in all of my old green Colemen products, 2 burner stove, single and dual mantle lantern's and my single burner stove with no problems. I think the problem was the lead would clog the jets but don't know for sure.

Thanks! I still have them all, as they went through an "outdoor sale" and also a garage sale with no buyers. I also dropped the price to pretty darn cheap and still no go. I guess they don't take up much room, so I could keep them around, but maybe just also hit up the free stuff forum and get them a new home for some young folks who would use them more.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
