Lighter fluid will evaporate. You should be able to get some diesel
fuel/kerosene. You need something that is actually leave its paraphene
<sp> (hooked on phonics);=) behind to protect the bare metal surfaces.
AS for the battery charger, do you have a 12V battery laying around to
put in the circuit. You could even do it off the battery in your car. It
won't drain the battery unless you run it for a long time.
BTW, don't try to measure the pressure off the pump nuless you have a
regulator in the the plumbing. Our pumps will do almost at least 100 psi
if dead headed. I ruined one of my pressure gages doing this.
