Fuel will be a problem. The car shouldn't be a problem. If possible, disassemble it and carry it on. If you're asked any questions, just say it's a toy ;)

There are rules under ICAO prohibiting carriage of Dangerous Goods (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangerous_goods) called DGR (Dangerous Good Regulations), it is an offence, even if you carry it in the luggage compartment. There have been atleast two accidents because of carriage of DG. here is one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangerous_goods). Don't even try carrying fuel apart from the fact that yo may end up behind bars (Non-bailable) you may endanger so many lives

PS
