I can remember “way back when”,
when a couple buddies and I put some “white gas” in my
Dad’s homemade tractor that was made from a 1930’s, ‘40’s
Ford truck and it kinda screwed up the engine. Can’t remember the details
but I do remember my Dad was MAD.
But I do remember what was in the can was referred to as “white gas”.

I'm not a chemist, but grew up here in
the Detroit
area. My understanding is that the term "white gas" referred to
naphtha, and was what was used as fuel in Coleman stoves.
