Say you were completely covered in gas from head to toe and were set on fire... how long until you died/passed out?

Are we talking seconds, minutes, and would you actually be conscious during the whole thing or would your body make you pass out from the overload of pain/heat?

I was wondering this after reading the story on CNN about a man dousing himself (and a van) in gas and setting it on fire.
