<h2 class="bvseo-question">
When storing my 285 lantern I've read keeping the fuel topped up and also pouring out as much as possible. Either way it does not mention releasing the pressure from the tank. What is the preferred method of storage ?

Hello Wags, Thank you for reaching out with your question&mdash;we&rsquo;re happy to help! For the Coleman Premium Dual Fuel Lantern with Case, the preferred method of storage is as follows: - Allow the lantern to cool completely after use. - It is recommended to release any pressure from the tank before storing. - For longer storage periods, you may drain as much fuel as possible to help maintain the unit over time. - Store the lantern upright in a cool, dry place, ideally in its case. These steps will help keep your lantern in good condition and ready for future use. If you need any further assistance, please feel free to contact us via our official website&mdash;we&rsquo;ll be happy to help. We&rsquo;re available Mon.-Fri. 9 am &ndash; 5 pm Eastern Time. https://www.coleman.com/support/contact-us Have a nice day! Coleman Consumer Care Team

The website here lists the model numbers 285 and 295. How do i know which one I'll be getting?

The Coleman Consumer Care, is wrong. The 285 and 295 are not the same. The 285 is smaller and comes with carry case (it is the model sold here). I like the more compact 285 vs the 295. When I grab a lantern, I grab one of my 280's and the larger lanterns usually stay home. The 285 is the same size as the older 288 and 286 (the 286 is the single mantle version of the 288 and these lanterns are about the same size as the single mantle model 200 they replaced, The 295 is a larger/full size lantern and does not come with a case, but the carrying case can be bought separately. The carrying case for the 295 also fits the 290 and the 220F-220K (the 220E and earlier are too tall).

Hello! Thank you for your question! I understand the confusion. The Premium Dual Fuel Lantern does indeed have two mantles, even though the description mentions only one. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we'll work to correct the description. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! Have a great day! Coleman Consumer Care.
