Default Real White Spirit or Fake ?

Many years ago I had a Coleman camping stove. You could run it on their
own proprietary fuel (very expensive), petrol (cheap but a bit smelly) or,
IIRC, white spirit. I never did find any because it was the US version
they meant - which I think is closer to petrol than any form of paint
cleaner/thinner.


"White Gas", not white spirit. But yes, pretty similar to petrol.

I've still got a Coleman camping stove - probably rather newer than yours
was though. Works on petrol very well :-)

cheers,
