    If you really want to try some, you could use d-limonene. It’s just orange oil (like you get when you squeeze an orange peel), is edible, and is basically a kerosene-like hydrocarbon. It’s used in hand soap and works for stripping paint, and you can run multi-fuel camp stoves off of it, too!

    Careful ingesting it though, as it isn’t always food grade due to extraction methods/additives. It causes kidney tumors in rats, but the mechanism is known and is not relevant to humans.
