I only need enough to do 8 grips. Assistant pro suggested Coleman fuel,
another suggested dish soap and water.

Try mineral spirits. Regardless of what solvent you use, make sure the
area is well-ventilated. I don't like the idea of using fuels designed
to catch on fire, so I like the less flammable stuff.
Actually, I don't use any of those any more, I use the Brampton solvent
(it's water-based). I didn't like the fumes. But for a few, something
like mineral spirits or naphtha will be fine (it's what I used to use,
and I keep some around in case I run out of the other stuff).

I dip the first inch of the thin end of the grip in solvent, then use
an air compressor for the rest. No mess, no waste. Tried air only
and found the thin end to get stuck as the shaft gets wider so a
little (ahem) K-Y is needed :)

Pretty much any decent petroleum based solvent will work. Naptha,
paint thinner, coleman fuel, etc. I've been using naptha since I can
get a bottle for a couple bucks.
Some grip tapes will work with soap and water, and I've tried them but
they didn't work too well. I think the solvents work much, much
better and are easier to work with.
