Does anyone know: what is the natural ignition point of light naphtha?

Urgently need to know the natural temperature of light naphtha?
Flash point, auto-ignition point: Gasoline – <28 °C, 510–530 °C; Kerosene – 28–45 °C, 380–425 °C; Light diesel – 45–120 °C, 350–380 °C; Heavy diesel – >120 °C, 300–330 °C. Note 1: For vehicle diesel, except that the flash point of 20# diesel must be no lower than 50 °C, the flash point of all other types must be no lower than 65 °C. 2: It is meaningless for flammable liquids regarding their ignition point, so it is generally not indicated. For example, gasoline can burn at -30°C. Light naphtha probably has a higher auto-ignition temperature; in any case, it’s above 500 degrees. I’m not sure what your goal is.
Reply to 2# dongliangsir: Thank you! It's for work.
Reply 3# THORCHH: Generally, the lighter the oil, the higher its auto-ignition point. Light naphtha has a lower boiling range than gasoline, so its auto-ignition point should be higher. But generally, books only list the auto-ignition temperature of gasoline. The exact value for light naphtha is indeed unknown.
