It certainly does. Basically anything flammable will work. What it is doing is exploding inside the tire to seat the bead. Basically, if you ever get stuck with a tire at a bottom of a stack that's smushed, you would have to use this technique to get it to seat. Imagine a little 175/60R14 tire. You let those sit long enough in a stack, and it will sit 4 inches tall. Try mounting that on a 7 inch rim or whatever it's going on.
This is done a lot in the tire industry. You can tell they're nowhere near compressed air, so this would be the best method. Just spray a ton of flammable fluids in there, light it and it will explode the beads to the rim. It's just like using compress air, except a lot stronger.
I would advise against fixaflat though; the chemicals used in fixaflats ruin rubber if you guys ever plan on fixing a flat that way. Just put on the spare.

I've done that on a stubborn moto tyre before. I used brake clean though. Any highly flammable spray will do actually, just don't get crazy with spraying a shit ton in there.
