That's Coleman camp fuel or white gas. *Possibly a bad idea for ABS.

Chemical Compatibility Database

* Select "ABS plastic" in the left column.
* Select "Naptha" in the right column.
* Click on "See Results"
The results say that it's a bad idea.

Another ABS chemical compatibility chart at:
http://www.k-mac-plastics.net/data%20sheets/abs_chemical_resistance.htm
says that naptha is ok when cool (20C), but will severely attack ABS
when hot (60C).
