The international version of the Whisperlite has a larger gas tube leading up to the fuel nozzle to accomodate thicker fuels such as diesel or kerosene. This stove comes with two fuel jet nozzles. The one installed on the stove when you purchase it is for light fuels such as white gas or alcohol, the second is for heavier fuels. The international version also has a net in the primer cup which serves as a wick. This wick allows you to light heavier fuels (such as diesel) with ease. The heavier fuels have a higher flash point and are difficult to light on their own without a wick. If you wish to have the most versatile stove available, the International is the way to go. With the International you can cook with almost any flammable liquid while the standard version is better suited for white gas alone.

The WhisperLite Internationale can burn kerosene & unleaded fuel in addition to white gas whereas the standard WhisperLite is designed to burn only white gas.
