Default Varying names for fuel

I have the impression that there are (were?) a variety of names for fuels used in diesel engines too...

From Steve Darby on the WW1-WW2 British Rations Facebook group. Here's directions still intact on an original stove. I sit corrected. It's quite apparent that two types of fuel are used. So this is certainly different from a "Coleman Stove" style cooker.

Default WW2 Joke

An airman from a stricken aircraft was unable to open his 'chute and as he was falling to earth he spied a fellow coming up toward him. As they passed each other the airman yelled, 'Do know anything about parachutes?' His skyward bound compatriot yelled back, 'No! Do you know anything about petrol stoves?'
