Nitrile gloves won't break down w/petroleum, if memory serves.  Even with
rubber, it's not exactly a fast thing...and it's better than your skin
soaking up the gas.

If you or anyone else is interested enough, I'll look in an old copy of
Lab Safety Supply I have hanging around at home(great place to get
chemical lightsticks...all shapes, sizes and colors...LOTS of
colors...great for divers!)...the LSS catalog has a chart of 
compatibility/breakdown times for the most popular industrial
chemicals+such.
