I doubt that... but that is just my gut reaction. If you have any articles on doing away with fuel, please post it. I would like to read it.
In various blogs there are many people who prefer to use fuel other than propane. And there are just as many people who refuse to use anything but propane. I use a Coleman fuel stove and I have a propane lantern that I rarely use, and a Mr. Buddy heater that uses propane.
Each fuel has its pros and cons. Fuel you need to fill with a funnel and pump up. Propane you just screw a bottle on and light it. Propane is more expensive. I always seem to go thru a bottle of propane much faster than a tank of fuel.

Coleman fuel is actually 'naptha' or 'white gas'.
There are many brands on the market. As you mentioned it may called 'camping fuel'.
Good Luck and Happy Camping!

[font=arial][size=8pt]Coleman fuel is a petroleum naphtha product marketed by The Coleman Company. Historically called white gas (not White spirit), it is a liquid petroleum fuel (100% light hydrotreated distillate) sold in one gallon cans.[1] It is used primarily for fueling lanterns and camp stoves. Originally, it was simply casing-head gas or drip gas which has similar properties. Drip gas was sold commercially at gas stations and hardware stores in North America until the early 1950's. The White gas sold today is a similar product but is produced at refineries with the benzene removed.[2]
Coleman fuel is a mixture of cyclohexane, nonane, octane, heptane, and pentane.[3]
Though Coleman fuel has an octane rating of 50 to 55 and a flammability similar to gasoline, it has none of the additives found in modern gasoline and cannot be used as a substitute for gasoline, kerosene or diesel fuel in modern engines.[4] Its high heat of combustion and lack of octane boosting additives like tetra-ethyl lead will destroy engine valves, and its low octane rating would produce knocking.[4][/size]
