I have run my M90 on Denatured Alcohol, and while it did work, it was the weakest run of any of the fuels I have tried.

As for White Gas ... see link:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_gas

White gas is a common name for a number of flammable substances:

1. As a generic term for camp stove and lantern fuel, its most popular current usage, also called Naphtha, 100% Light Hydro Treated Distillate, or Coleman fuel[1]

2. Pure gasoline (without additives), commonly used when leaded gasoline was the norm to prevent fouling in situations where the properties of the lead additive were not required

3. Un-dyed gasoline

White gas should not be confused with white spirit, which is more akin to kerosene.


Not a very authoritative source, I do realize.
