If you wanna use modern 87 octane gasoline, it would be best to add some hard yellow brass plates clamped around the fuel supply tube where it goes through the flame, this will draw more heat into the liquid fuel, and vaporize it better for less clogging. That is how the modern COLEMAN PEAK 1 stoves and lanterns work, they even make a retrofit for the older lanterns to get them to burn regular gasoline without clogging.

It was manufactured for use with gasoline. It will still run on today's gas but you are correct in the assumption that Coleman fuel is now the better choice. There's all kinds of stuff added to our gas today and it tends to form carbon in the generator causing it to clog prematurely. It is however safe to use either fuel.
If you have the pump that goes to it to pressurize the tank and wish to try it out fill the tank only about half way. Too much fuel and the pressure drops quickly.
