The petrol can weaken and destroy the rubber of the tyre. A much better and safer way is to use a quick spray of Aerostart and cigarette lighter. I've used this method on an aired down 4wd tyre that had come off the bead and have it on video somewhere. If you have a diesel vehicle and don't carry Aerostart, some other aerosols will work including Brake Kleen or even some hairsprays and deodorants.
