Valopetroli, bensiini and sprii are generic names, Sinol and Marinol are brand names, but also in common use.

White Gas (kevytbensiini) is apparently
very hard to find (maybe because nobody uses it here). According to manufacturer's info Sinol(tm) is for unpressurized stoves (Trangia etc.) while Marinol(tm) is for pressurized stoves (Optimus? never seen one), but in practice they should be interchangeable.

Besides the listed choices, "Lampyoljy" (lamp oil) has always worked fine for me. It's a clean kerosene, generally dyed blue or some other color.
The very best and cleanest is Shell Erikois Valopetroli, but the other stuff works just fine.
You have to look far and wide to get "Coleman Fuel" in Finland, but much to my surprise, it is available at the Shell shop in Kilpisjärvi, a few km up the road from where the Kalottireitti comes out, just near the Retkeilykeskus. It's in little barely marked suspicious looking square tin bottles.
Both Shell and Neste told us the same thing here.
