White Gas
jet1959mo: A final thought, unleaded gas was always available from Amoco, it was known as "white gas". We bought it in the 60's for use in our Coleman camp stoves and lanterns, before Coleman fuel became widely available. The lead in "regular" gas was supposed to crud the burners up. So "unleaded" fuel was available when your Model 71 was built.
I'm sure the Amoco premium gas (93 octane) was unleaded, I'm not sure about their other grades.
I've heard the same thing as Ploughboy from people in the business about how all the gas in a geographic area is derived from the same distributor regardless of brand. The reason all the gas prices are roughly equivalent in a given area is because it is all supplied from the same place.
