To answer your question, this stove is not compatible with propane (requires very high pressures resulting in extremely heavy canisters and are fitted with the wrong valve) or white gas. It is compatible with canisters fitted with a Lindal valve as mentioned above, but those use a butane/propane blend (mostly butane.) If you're hoping to use Coleman fuel or those heavy, thick-walled propane bottles, you probably want to buy a different stove.

The Crux Lite stove is compatible only with compressed gas, canisters employing a screw-on, Lindal valve. These canisters can be found most anywhere in the US but are not yet available world-wide. It will not burn white gas.
