Ask for acopy of the Material Safety Data Sheet. It will give you an upper and a lower flammibility limit. That is the range in which an explosion could occur.

The supplies data sheet will give you these figures and they are different for each solvent

it would depend on which solvent it was.
how would you measure the concentration if you knew the upper or lower explosive limit in any case?
