Volatile liquid (7)

I believe the answer is:

naphtha

(Other definitions for naphtha that I've seen before include "Distillation product of coal tar or petroleum" , "Rock-oil" , "Inflammable oil" , "Solvent ingredient" , "Flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
