+1 Petrol/gasoline, bad, very bad for cleaning purposes.

If you must use a solvent, as has been stated before, kerosene, mineral spirits or even the parts washer "paint cans" sold at auto parts stores are much better and safer. I switched to Orange degreaser for my own use now, although once in a while I still break out the auto parts washer can.

O'Reilly auto parts sells them. Berryman Chem-Dip 96 ounce carb parts cleaner. Comes with a strainer/parts lifter. Gets it ALL off.
