I bought my Whisperlite International over 10 years ago. I pretty much have never used it other than to make sure it works. I didn't carry a stove with me when I thru-hiked. I'm not sure what kind of fuel is in the stove and I don't have any sense of taste or smell to be able to tell that way as to what kind of fuel is in the stove cannister.
The cannister is around halfway full and I'm looking at doing a 3/2 winter backpacking trip, hence why I'm thinking of carrying the stove. I would like to switch over to gasoline and use that since I have it readily available. I've already heard not to directly mix the gasoline in but no one that responded to my question elsewhere ever would give detailed enough information on how to safely play this situation.
What is the best way to go about switching the fuel. Can I just empty the cannister and pour in gasoline or do I have to fully let it air dry out or otherwise first?
