It can be gasoline but to make any kind of napalm there must be a thickening agent added. Straight gasoline would be a disaster for the person using the super soaker, as the falme would chase right back up the barrel and melt the soaker engulfing the shooter. Besides, a thickening agent is necessary to make the burning fluid stick to skin and clothes and incinerate the target. Gasoline just dissipates into the air once it is ignited in a stream. I saw this happen in Vietnam when one of the M48 "Zippo Tanks" (M48 with flame thrower insert in the 90mm barrel) didn't have the correct mix. The crew never had a chance to escape. Lots of recipes on the Internet.
Right. Thickening it makes it napalm. "Liquid" napalm is gasoline. If it isn't a gel, it isn't napalm. (I'm enough of a purist to want naphtha and palm oil, but I'll admit there are more effective thickened accelerants.)
