Something tells me this might not be a good idea, but you never know...

Has anyone has used gasoline as a fuel? I know they still make those
old-style brazing burners. Has any one hooked something like that up to
make a forge? I'd bet you could hook up an old fuel-injection unit
easily enough.

I imagine you could get pretty fancy -- A blown, fuel-injected,
turbo-charged, dual overhead cam, 400+ H.P. forge!
