If you want to part with something
then you have to incinerate it
If you never want to see it again
let it swim in petrol
I think that's where the whole meaning of the song is. "let it swim in petrol" - is just a metaphor for some means which you need to forget or to part with something.
Till tells bout heroine, friends and so on just to show that "petrol" is not a symbol for them. So maybe it's time what he's talking about.
Did it sound at least a little logic?
Or it could be about a pyromaniac...
