It is, but only if it is in the tank of the mail truck.

This is correct -  Gasoline (including white gasoline) is not mailable under

any conditions.

For Alcohol, Butane canisters, matches, esbit, and cigarette lighter USPS 
shipping requirements see: http://www.gottawalk.com/shipping_fuel.htm

Gasoline is banned from all  mail.
Isobutane canisters, alcohol and fuel tabs (esbit) can be mailed surface 
mail only, if packed and labeled properly. They are not allowed in priority 
mail.

ground with USPS. We are to check their website for specifc regulations and 
limitations.
