Presuming you mean in a fashion that will not cause combustion, the only sure way to heat a flammable liquid without causing combustion is to heat it in a sealed environment that has little or no free oxygen. Oxygen is required for combustion to occur; without oxygen, there is no combustion.
A less safe method would be to gradually heat the liquid, such as by storing it in a greenhouse. However, flammable liquids may combust even when heated slowly and should never be heated in an oxygenated environment past their recommended maximum safe temperatures.
