That's good enough for me!...I was leaning towards Zippo because I like the can it comes in....was just not sure if Coleman was cleaner as it is a cooking product....I have found 12oz cans of Zippo for as low as $6.99 for as little as these small models burn, that price is fine by me....I just want to run the best performing fuel.

   

I too like the Zippo cans, I was hoping that the squirter lid would act as sort of syringe to fill the tank as they are bloody finicky but it didn't work as hoped.

I was wondering if anyone has found a clever way to deal with exhaust fumes in the house?...I don't want to run it for hours at a time...but for several min in my spare room workshop....my first thought was to slide a rubber tube over the muffler and drop the other end in a pail of water....in hopes the bubbles rising thru water may purify the fumes some?....probably best to vent out a window?....I think the water method may make some unwanted back pressure....

For short runs with the window open, I reckon you'll be ok (I do it) I hate fumes and I haven't been bothered at all so far with these fun little engines.
