Difficult, I am told , to enlighten a Yankee!!!! but I will try....
Our petrol is your gas.
Our gas is your LPG (same over here as well actually).
Our TVO is Tractor Vapourising Oil. Not quite the same as your Distillate, but near enough. I use kerosene (straight) in my Ollie 90 if it is working or with some petrol and maybe a dash of gas oil (diesel) if it is lazing around.
Our diesel is diesel, commonly referred to as gas oil in central heating terms.
Not as cold here as over your side (in some places) so we only have the one kerosene grade.
Clear? If not just ask some more and we can make it even more complicated. Like the rules of cricket - no, we won"t go there!!
BTW our Imperial gallon is superior to yours by best part a quarter but we now operate in the sensible metric units (litres over here, liters over your side?) - like the French and Canadians and the rest of the world - excepting the US who, it seems, have never been the same as anywhere else in the world!
