Gasoline is fuel, not solvent,
as is diesel *fuel* and kerosene. There are solvents on the market that
are
*solvents*, not fuels. They are generally the best choice for dissolving
hydrocarbons

But Harold, they are *all* hydrocarbons! That's why they work so well...

Okay, gasoline and diesel are mixed for burning specifically in engines, but
AFAIK kerosene and paint thinner, among other petroleum distallates sold as
solvents, come remarkably close, if not already the same.
