We used carry some gallons of solvent naphtha in our oilfield lab cars for
use in running tests
in the field. I was with a co-worker who didnt watch the gas gauge, and ran
out of fuel in
a barren part of west Texas. This kind of fuel didnt burn well, was smoky,
but got us to
a service station.

Normally those naphthas have flash points of 150-200F, so they are not
as dangerous as gasoline to carry in the car.
