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. (Youtube Stompin' Tom Connors' "Sudbury Saturday Night" for more cultural reference)

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.
