Magnus, I am sure he does mean gasoline, petrol, benzine. I apply it quite often when other alcohols dont work e.g. spiritus (ethanol). But beware to apply only the clean issue which is specially sold for this purpose or that one sold in small metal cans for the good old cigarette lighters. It is always wise to make a little test before to be sure it does not attack the surface or parts around. To prevent explosions do it in a good ventilated area or beven better outside closed rooms (garden).
