As a retired ASE certified auto mechanic, etc.,etc. etc., I do not recommend use of gasoline.
Warning noted. Having worked on gasoline tankers if the gauger's sample bottles break, the stuff is usually evaporated by the time a sailer comes back from the focsle with a broom and dustpan to sweep up the glass. The evaporative properties are worth noting. Thanks for your insight.
