Gasoline

Gasoline is a highly flammable substance strictly prohibited from being carried on airplanes, whether in carry-on or checked baggage. This prohibition is in place to ensure flight safety and eliminate potential risks of fire or explosion. Even in small quantities, gasoline vapors can easily ignite and lead to severe hazards. Therefore, it is critically important for passengers not to bring gasoline or any items containing gasoline onto an aircraft.
