Not to mention that it's lots safer than gasoline, which is what I used to use.
Naphtha's minimum flash point is 122F, meaning you can't light it when it's
cooler than that. You probably don't want to heat it, but it's going to be
tough to light it without a wick of some sort (like old fashioned cigarette
lighters, which used naphtha as fuel). And, all parts washers (like the one
from HF/Enco) are equipped with a fusible link that will close the lid if the
solvent catches fire.
IOW, you'd have to work at it really hard to even singe your eyebrows, let alone
burn your garage. I'm not saying it couldn't be done, but it's not easy.
