FUEL INFORMATION

The WhisperLite ™ Internationale stove burns a variety of fuels by using two interchangeable Jets.
1. The IG Jet is used for White Gas and Unleaded Auto Gas. This Jet is preinstalled in your stove.
2. The K Jet is for Kerosene and Diesel. This Jet is included in the parts kit with your stove.
To exchange Jets, see "Cleaning the Jet and Fuel Line."
Use MSR ® SuperFuel ™ (White Gas) for optimal performance. It is the highest quality fuel available for your stove.
Do not use leaded fuels. Fuels other than MSR SuperFuel white gas lead to rapid stove clogging and require
more frequent Jet and Fuel Line cleanings. Also, the use of Unleaded Auto Gas may shorten stove lifespan. Use
the fuels chart below to help you find your fuel when traveling internationally.

DANGER
CARBON MONOXIDE, FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARD
There are serious hazards associated with using this stove and fuel. Accidental
fire, explosion, and misuse can cause death, serious burns, and property dam-
age. You are responsible for your own safety and the safety of those in your
group. Please use good judgment.
This stove is for OUTDOOR USE ONLY. Never use this stove in a tent, vestibule,
car, house, or inside any enclosed area. This stove consumes oxygen and pro-
duces carbon monoxide gas, which is poisonous and has no odor. This stove
can easily ignite nearby combustible materials and flammable liquids or vapors.
If you use this stove in an enclosed area you can be killed or seriously burned.
Keep stove and fuel bottle away from other heat sources. Never use cookware
or an Outback Oven with a diameter larger than 10 inches (25 centimeters).
™
Oversized cookware can overheat the fuel bottle. If you expose the fuel bottle to
high heat, it will explode and you can be killed or seriously burned.
Never let children use this stove. Keep children at least 10 feet (3 m) away from
the stove and cooking area, and supervise them at all times.
