Starting fluid is ether. It vaporizes faster and at lower temperatures
than anything else in your shop and it's insanely flammable. Its vapors
are also a powerful anesthesia agent and used to be used for surgical
anesthesia. Use caution.

I almost lost a barn to a fire caused by starting fluid used on an old
tractor on a cold morning. I had a lot of hay on the floor that made it
real interesting. All I had to put out the fire with was a rake and
shovel.
