What's the word for Methylated Spirits??

Hi,
I am cycling around Northern Europe in June/July. I will be
using a Trangia stove which burns alcohol fuel. In the past
I've had trouble with purchasing it in non-english
countries. In Australia we use Methylated Spirits, but I
have used Fondue fuel very successfully. Can anyone tell me
the local word (or a brand name) for either of these in any
of the following countries:
Netherlands
Germany
Poland
Finland
Sweden
Denmark
Any help much appreciated. Please respond to my e-mail
address if possible. Thanks, Paul

   In DK it is called Trµsprit (thirdletter is an a+e - means
   Wood alcohol) or methanol - can't you just use ordinary
   alcohol?

   In the Netherlands it would be "spiritus".
   Mixture of methanol, ethanol and a blue colorant.
   Works fine in fondue stoves and for cleaning windows,
   but you probably don't care about that.
   It's sold in dark blue bottles (even in supermarkets).
