White gas in Mendoza?

Hey All,
For those who have climbed Aconcagua in the past, where did you guys get white gas? My boyfriend & friends were there a few years ago, but the white gas they got had water in it and started to freeze at basecamp!
They're heading back to Argentina next month and they're trying to avoid the same problem.
Any and all advice is appreciated!
Thanks!
Jen

In several ferreterías (bring bottles) but also sport shops might help you to organize white gas.

You can also get white gas from the El Refugio climbing store on Espana down by Plaza Independencia or from their other store on Ave Las Heras.
