Kerosene, paraffin, lamp oil and coal oil are all the same thing that come in various grades.
White gas, Naptha and Coleman fuel are also all the same but are different than kerosene, and most definitely should not be put in a kerosene stove such as the Svea. This might be dangerous.
Methyl hydrate, methylated spirits, methanol and wood alcohol are the same thing, and a small capful in the cylinder can be handy for starting stubborn 2 stroke motors as well as priming the Sveas. I used to use it on the old Elan Skidoo’s and now every season starting an ancient lawnmower at the cabin.
