Best Answer

No.

It is made up of various long chain hydrocarbons; ie. organic chemicals comprised mostly of Carbon and Hydrogen.

However, petrol and especially crude oil (from which petrol is derived from) contains traces of all sorts of things so there would definitely be traces of metals present.
