There are a few misconceptions here about white gas, Coleman fuel and so forth. In short: 1. White gas is unleaded, additive free gasoline. It is rarely encountered in the US. I have no idea where to buy it here, at any rate. 2. Coleman fuel is mainly Naptha, a slightly heavier distillate that is consequently slightly less volatile and slightly safer than gasoline for use in stoves and lanterns. Other commonly encountered forms of Naptha are lighter fluid and Energine Cleaning Fluid. A very good FAQ on stove fuels around the world can be found here: http://www.ultralight-hiking.com/fuelnames.html mike -------------------------- Michael Edelman mje_at_spamcop.net http://foldingkayaks.org http://findascope.com http://kittysaysmoo.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
