Any safe liquid with a higher specific gravity than gasoline will "float" the gas to the surface when put in the ear canal-
http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/specific-gravity-liquids-d_336.html
For example, since vehicle gasoline has a specific gravity of 0.739 and castor oil has a specific gravity of 0.959, the castor oil, when poured in the ear, would float the gas to the surface where it could be absorbed with a cotton ball.

If you have Canola Oil and do not have
Castor Oil, use that instead. I got an earful of gasoline. I washed the ear best i could with soapy water then treated with cold watere from the fridge for the pain. I read this article about oil and out Canola oil. It southed the pain and removed the gasoline. Thankyou for the oil idea it worked.
