Gasoline is not a “volatile explosive”. However, it is a volatile, explosive substance. That's like the main reason it is in use. People forget how volatile and how explosive it is, because they handle it often, and because they know that you can shoot a gas tank and it wouldn't immediately detonate most of the times, only some time.
