White gas is a common name for two flammable substances. In its most common modern usage, it is used as a generic name for camp stove and lantern fuel, usually naphtha.[1]
White gasoline, also called white gas can also be a name for pure gasoline, without additives. This was commonly used when leaded gas was normal, to prevent fouling in situations where the properties of the tetraethyl lead additive were not required.[2]
So called "white" gas was clear, as opposed to "regular" octane which had orange dye added for identification, or hi-test "ethyl" which had purple dye added.

That's according to Wikipedia. :D

PS: Have i called you a git yet?

Ah thought so, well you are a git :lmao:

Nice stove Phil, you shouldn't need owt else, good stable base. Of course with any liquid/gas fueled stove you still have to carry the fuel with you although if you ever break down and it's in the car, you can syphon off your petrol to make a brew :lmao:
