So maybe that will work , if it is Cosmo.

Would probably need supplied air respiration to go after it very much for very long if it works.
But those guys even washed their clothes and bedding in gasoline from time to time as well ,
and were probably real adjusted to it.
BVZ, Gasoline was the only liquid that dissolved it, albeit very slowly. We have the inner fender wells to do next and that will be done outdoors when the weather gets descent. The PO really wanted to preserve his baby and hosed this stuff everywhere...but it worked! We're not positive what the stuff truly is, but it did turn an orange-brown when gasoline was rubbed into it.
