It’s funny that people wonder this seeing as this use to be common place from the early 1900s to probably the 90s or later. My mother actually asked me this same question as you. White gas is the same as pump gas other than the additives to it. You can actually Distill pump, gas, and turn it into white gas. As for using pump gas, it is best to put some carburetor cleaner in the fount or tank before you add it. A capful is good enough to help keep the generator clean. The additives in pump gas cause the gasoline to spoil so when not in use it’s best to dump it as in empty the fount or tank. White gas on the other hand not having the additives doesn’t go bad. You can get a 10 15 20 year old can of white gas and it still works.</blockquote>
