I've used gasoline as a solvent many times and I very probably will never use it that way again. Please don't. Besides being explosive (a good reason by itself) the oil companies put additives in them that are POWERFUL carcinogens. And it irritates my skin.
Undercoating usually seems waxy to me, so a petroleum based product might work well. GOOP hand cleaner, and similar others, are parafin-based. Kerosene makes an excellent degreaser and would probably work well, but it is still nasty, though not as nasty as gasoline.
A friend removed all undercoating from a 914 (twenty pounds - he weighed it). I'll ask how he did it.
As a solvent, I keep a big can of Mineral Spirits around. It's not harsh and usually works well. Don't know if it will soften undercoating, but it's pretty cheap. Perhaps worth a try.
