I suspect it's the propellant that is flammable, probably propane or butane, the WD 40 is not much more than kerosene, which would make it perfect for starting a diesel engine, and give pretty good lubrication for anything else.

Just stick your unlit propane torch down there. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
