Coleman fuel AKA white gas

Forgive my faux pas.

I didn't mention that I wasn't able to locate this stuff
under any of it's synonyms, either.
White Spirit
Coleman Fuel
White Gas (I remember when that was available at the *gas station*.
Etc etc.

"White gas" was just unleaded, which they all have now, but before
I tried gasoline, and if you really really can't find any lighter
fluid, I'd try acetone or MEK (Methyl-ethyl ketone).


Ah! I shall add acetone to the list. 'Still have some of that,
though naptha is *much* gentler.

Good Luck!
Rich


"White gas", is similar to unleaded, but a bit more refined and without
the additives in unleaded highway gas.


Naptha is volatile as all getout.
Has a different aroma than eu de unleaded.
Must be the additives.
