Got my stove for a south american journey lasting around 6 weeks through the patagonias. Needed the international incase i was forced to use auto fuel but was never the case. Both in Argentina and Chile you can find white gas for sale. Its easier in Chile to find "Bencina Blanca" then in Argentina "Solvente". In argentina you have to more often then not visit a paint store to find it as they primarily use it as paint solvent. In chile you can find it at most camping supply stores. This stove can be a little tricky for first time users and requires diligence when storing, cleaning or repairing the stove. Take care of your equipment and it will take care of you. I used the 20oz bottle with it and was able to cook for one person for about 5 days on it.
