Not sure about petrol, dip it in hot soapy water, I'd suppose

I dip my panel filter in petrol then with hot soapy water I clean it all thoroughly, massaging the dirt out. Then with a strong stream of cold water rinse it all off and let it dry naturally. Oil it up when fully dry and you're done.

I use hot soapy water then once dry I put my old 2stroke petrol over it so dust sticks to the oil
