So, we have a bunch of names for various fuels. These things seem to vary a bit around the world, so some clarity is required to stop someone putting petrol in a kero appliance.

Paraffin would be the same as kerosene of which there are various grades like lighting and jet fuel.

White spirits which equates to NL gas (non leaded)or Coleman fuel. I think this is referred to as Naptha and (mentioned above) White gas.

So, What is lamp oil? Kero again?
When you are talking Alcohol (in this context) What exactly do you mean?
There is mention of Methyl hydrate. I assume this is methylated spirits?
