Coleman fuel - 'White Gas' is a rip-off in the UK at at least a fiver for half a litre! There are dire warnings about using car petrol - even unleaded, in stoves (the warnings relating to the additives being toxic when burnt in a stove).
There have been recommendations on the web for 'Panel Wipe' (used in car body workshops) for petrol/gasoline stoves, and I've bought some to try. Coleman Fuel is naptha, the Panel Wipe I bought is also naptha. In my Russian R1 stove (an Optimus R8 clone), Panel Wipe burns with a clean blue flame and leaves no residue on the base of pans - and there are no unpleasant fumes. I shall continue to use Panel Wipe in my petrol/gasoline stove(s) and would be interested in any comments that petro-chemical engineers on this forum might have.
