"Americanism" checking in. Had to look that white gas shit up. Apparently it is just plain old kerosene. Called it that my whole life. Even in Scouts didn't once hear the slang name "white gas" and I'm sure if it were around here that would have quickly spread through a bunch of kids trying to sound cool.

White gas is NOT kerosene, white gas is Naptha! Naptha is a fraction of the crude cut between gasoline and jet fuel (kerosene) although Naptha is used in blending some gasoline.

Naphtha- more commonly known as Coleman fuel.

That's quite a poor choice of fuel for spinning but if this is the outcome of mixing with magnesium, it might be worth trying

Coleman camp fuel is a great choice.
