Default White gas?

...
I snagged a Therm'X Safety Heater model 30-C on Ebay, brand new. It's a
catalytic gauze burner type from the '60's. the instructions say to use a
couple different brand name fuels, neither now available or even
Googleable.
The instructions also say in a pinch, to use white gas or "pure naphtha".
......humming
is white gas just unleaded? How do we define "pure Naphtha"?


Naphtha, as bottled by virgins.

Petroleum naphtha?


Yes. You can get it at a hardware or paint store. Coleman Lantern Fuel is
the same thing.
