Distilling Gasoline

Here in Costa Rica there is no way to get Coleman Fuel or white gasoline, so I was forced to search an alternative to such fuels.
Due to the fact that importing original Coleman fuel would be super expensive the only way to go was getting white gasoline, or.....obtaining it by destillation.
This because the last thing you want to burn in your lantern are those nasty Gums, Aromatics and additives mixed in gasoline. These are ok, to burn it in your car motor but not in your lantern.

so is this just really pure gasoline or is it actual Coleman fuel (naphtha)??

@DreamSeekerOne We can say it's pure gasoline, Coleman fuel is a special blend not just pure naphta.

@CaptainKbec Maybe they put something in canadian gas or the smell is normal for this, anyway it doesnt matter as long as the additives that are ok to burn in your car are not being burned in your lantern.

@miltonSF Alright, then. I did a quick rig myself: A bit of 1/4 in vinyl piping, a section of copper tubing and 2 bottles - the results werent that great for me. The gas was clear after, but still STUNK like regular gasoline.... not like white gas. I suspect its the additives we have here in Canada.
