I am hoping that this was just a tongue-in-cheek question, thomasmgp. The LAST thing you want to do is use gasoline to start a fire like that! There are plenty here who will share that sentiment, including some professional firefighters and medical professionals. The kerosene idea offered is certainly more viable. I have also heard that spraying diesel fuel out of a hand pump type sprayer, and concentrating the stream in one specific spot till it's really cranking, will start a fire on any flammable material and that will not go out in rainy weather. PLEASE don't even consider gasoline as a means of starting your fire!
