Coleman, and other users all say its absolutely vital that when the stove is not being used for 2 weeks or more that any fuel left gets emptied out of the tank.  If non done, everything inside gets gunky and blocks upwardly.

Having taken this communication on board, we have just been trying to empty the tank.  Fruitless task - all nosotros can get are drops out, occasionally, and there is still probably half a tank left.  Any suggestions?  Its a new stove, and then we manifestly want to maintain it properly so it will last for many years.  Suggestions on how to empty the tank would therefore be much appreciated.

If you are using Coleman fuel (liquid aureate ... and so expensive) or better still. (IMHO) Aspen 4T, y'all should non accept to bleed the tank.
The trouble with gunk in the tank is mostly a business organization when using auto unleaded. All the additives necessary for a modern petrol engine serve no purpose in a camping stove and as the fuel slowly evaporates, the additives are left backside to gunk upwardly the works.
I have left Coleman fuel and Aspen 4T sitting in stove fuel tanks for more than than a year, and know people who have left Coleman fuel in stove tanks for 5+ years without any ill effects.
So the like shooting fish in a barrel way to avert a gunked up stove is to use a clean fuel. Coleman or Aspen 4T ... peradventure even motorcar panel wipe.

To remove the fuel already in the stove tank. you could try the uncomplicated siphon method.
Length of tube, stove tank on a high table, fuel bottle downwards low.
Don't swallow!

Best of luck.

Here we become again. It is PERFECTLY safe to go out unleaded fuel in the tank.   I detect it is VERY Incorrect to mislead people on these forums past putting in your personal opinions or preferences.   I go along fuel in my tank all the fourth dimension and HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY BLOCKAGE, GUNK ETC in 10 years of using the affair. I make clean the nozzle in one case a year and that is it.   I would advise you to contact Coleman and ask them. I for 1 would beloved to encounter where coleman say this as well, every bit no literature stating this came with my stove.

here is the argument from the OFFICIAL COLEMAN WEBSITE

uality features expected from Coleman stoves accept been retained in the Dual Fuel models. Both stoves feature Ring-A-Blu burners for fifty-fifty heat distribution, deep flame ports located on the sides for ease of lighting and air current resistance, fully adjustable flame, self-cleaning generator tip, copper-brazed steel fuel tank, equalized burners and a nickel-chrome-plated steel rod grate that lifts out for easy cleaning.

Packed with each stove is a new design-filtering funnel created to meliorate ease of filling while filtering out water and particulate impurities from unleaded fuel. A fill up-finish feature reduces the chance of overfilling and spillage. The funnel filter is washable and replaceable, and the unit stores in its own zippered poly purse to minimize odors.

I would point y'all in the direction of the filtering funnel and the "self cleaning generator tip".

Facts!
Rant over!!

I expressed my stance based on my feel and that of other stove collectors, with hundreds of years combined experience.
Merely because it differs from your experience, which you lot seem ready and willing to offer as FACT, in no style devalues mine or whatever i else's opinion.

Bluster over.

Sorry Spudz, Simply quoting FACT from the Coleman website. Not assumptions.   Do you own a 424? It gets a chip boring sometimes.

I use unleaded and just run it dry at the end of each trip.  Equally to whether or not information technology matters or non, I can't comment (don't want to get spanked)...

Cheers anybody for your comments.

In response to Dezzie, about leaving fuel in the tank not being a problem, all I tin say is we purchased a second paw stove that had had fuel left in the tank and it was and so gunked up it was impossible to make clean upwardly and parts needing replacing instead.  Returned the stove and obtained a total refund.  From the state of the balance we saw I guess only unleaded had been used, and possibly without using the filter funnel.  We but intend using Coleman occasionally to 'clean out' the arrangement (equally recommended) and the bulk of the fourth dimension use unleaded.

Consequently we intend emptying the tank to prevent this happening to our stove.  We take institute a perfect and cheap syphon - small-scale length of water irrigation pipe with an ink cartridge refilling syringe-case to start information technology off.  Works a care for.
