The general idea is. You spray a small amount of Either/starter fluid (and I guess you could use WD40) in the tire and light a lighter or match next to the bead of the tire. This should set the bead and allow you to put air in the tire. This should only be considered a last resort trail fix. A cargo strap around the tread of the tire sinched down can also help you set the bead to allow it to take and keep air.

I have heard but have not seen, that there are some large construction type tires that are so big the only way to set the bead is this method, but I assume it is a more controled or measure amount of gas used.

This can be/is very dangerous!!!!! I am not telling anyone they should run out and do this.
 
As For INFLATING Tires - Useless... Hot gas from burning fuel inflates the tire rapidly, but then it slowly cools and deflates. So you're back to square one, unless you follow up with some compressed Air or CO2. It is only usefull to seal tire against the rim before inflating it, like Team Arctic Trucks prowed many years ago.
