Coleman fuel is the same as what they used to call white gas it is refined more and doesn't have all the materials in it the gums up. That is why it is so clear when you look at it. I believe Coleman's storage data is more for the container then the fuel as it shouldn't make a difference whether it is stored in a dry location or not when sealed in a can, but the cans do start to rust through if not in a dry area. Now propane has no expiration date it will always outlast the container.
What he says.
White gas lasts a very long time.
