Kerosene is not common, except for those portable carbon monoxide generators, sold as indoor heaters. The typical kerosene lamp in Canada has a cotton wick on a little adjustment wheel, and it smokes worse than six old dolls out on a Saturday night at the bingo parlour.

What we call White Gas or Naphtha is clear and almost odourless distillate. It is sold in the equivalent of 1 gallon tin jugs with a cap and neck guaranteed to slop fuel everywhere. The Army's version of a container has a long plastic spout that is easier to control, but still manages to pour fuel everywhere. They are typically dark green and have orange fittings.
