When I worked in a Chevron station (1973-75) I cleaned the service bay nightly using a mop, water, and laundry detergent.

The gasoline reminds me of what I read on a recent paint can label I purchased here in Mexico. The recommended reducer was either thinner or gasoline!

Mechanic's here in Mexico use gasoline to clean parts. But isn't there a safer way to use gasoline, I think it is called "white gas." Never used it, and I don't know what the exact composition/difference would be.
 
Many years ago I used leaded gas to thin enamel paint I accidently discovered this one nite when I was out of reducer the gas gave it a brighter shine . used it many times afterwards . dont know about unleaded.
 
How did that Bad Company song go....There's no smoke without a fire! One spark,and that would have been featured on a 1000 ways to die!

We used to call Coleman lantern fuel "white gas". It'll still burn your *** up in a hurry if something goes wrong!
 
We used to keep a metal pan of gas on the work bench for parts and hand washing. When it got dirty we just dumped it in the drain oil drum out back, went out front to the gas pump and refilled it.

I remember the state inspector in the garage one day, he walked over to it, stuck his nose over it and took a wiff. He just walked away and didn't say anything. After a couple of hours it sort of looses it's vapor. Lol
 
100LL has tolene in it.. makes a GREAT cleaner. Most of my Bee parts were cleaned in it... :D
 
I could be wrong, and not that it matters, but looking and freeze framing on the cars, trucks, and motorcycles, does not appear to be in the U.S
 
My mom used to tell me about a couple kids in her neighborhood that died. They were cleaning a garage floor with gas and one of them flipped the light on and it ignited.
 
When I was a "pump jumper" in the sixties we used gas to clean the islands but never the shop area.
