Boiling points and flash points of petrol are too low to be safe in a stove. Leaded petrol is, of course, stupid for toxicity. Higher boiling deodorized kerosene, decaline, and tetralin are commonly used. The flip side is to use a propane or butane cartridge with appropriate plumbing and flow control. Hexamethylenetetramine for solid camp stove fuel. Jellied alcohol (Sterno) does not put out enough heat/time to be useful.
A *small* lump of plastic explosive burns hot and clean for warming food. Somewhere between a marble and a golf ball it explodes rather than burns. If you stomp it out it explodes.

Petrol? Gas, such as burned in autos?
WOW! This evaporates very quickly, creating fumes, which are highly explosive.
DO NOT USE TO START OR FEED ANY FIRE.

No, something more volitile (turns into gas more easily) is used:
Propane gas, butane gas, natural gas (methane) etc.
