Use as a Fuel
Gasoline is used in some combustion cannons. It can be metered like propane, but instead using a syringe. Gasoline provides a powerful combustion, but will very easily flood the chamber.
Myths
Gasoline will not damage PVC chambers as proved in a test by a well-respected Spudtech forum member Plasticex009.
Safety
An exessive amount of gasoline in a combustion launcher will not fragment a properly contructed chamber, but can drip out, causing burns to the operator and fire hazard. A surprisingly small amount of gasoline (about 0.12ml per liter of chamber volume) is necessary for proper combustion.
