I wouldn't know for sure but I suggest using kerosine (=parafin). It 
would be about the same viscosity and density.

I used gasoline, when I did my test, and I'm still here. I did do 
it outside though, and I made sure all electrical connections were 
solid!

Did I hear anybody say Formula FAE? :-)
