Detailed Solution

Petrol is not a conductor of electricity.
Petrol does not contain ions that are responsible for carrying a current. That is why it is an insulator for electricity. While tap water, lemon juice, and saltwater are conductors of electricity. Electricity can be defined as the flow of electrons.
Petrol is a hydrocarbon that lacks free electrons and ions to conduct electricity.
