Yes, all petroleum based fuels will evaporate within about 30 seconds to a minute of soaking it. In fact, so will most flammable liquids, so that wouldn't work too well. The ACB has a pretty good fuse (although pretty much nothing else).
There is a huge number of potential homemade fuses, made with just some type of oxidizer and fuel mixed in water, which string or something is put into.
Some oxidizers are KClO3, KClO4, KClO3 or KMnO4, and there's no excuse for not being able to get some kind of oxidizer since all of these are available over-the-counter except, save KClO4.
As for fuel, just use sugar. Just stick with a basic 1:1 ratio for the fuse mixture, and mix it with about the 2x the volume of boiling water to dissolve it.
