Yes, it is flammable enough that you can use it as starting fluid for a
lawnmower with water in the gas tank. Been there, done that. In fact,
without any fuel in the tank, you can run the mower engine just by
keeping a continuous spray of WD-40 going into the intake. The problem
is getting someone to run along side the mower with a large can of WD-40
while you push the mower to cut the grass..... ;')
LBC content - I suppose you could use this technique on an MG to
determine if a starting problem is fuel or ignition related.
