Hey frenchie, that starting fluid is very flammable. Ya might just use brake cleaner. Not as flammable and works just as well. Just a thought.

If I'm not mistaken hydraulic fluid is pretty flammable too. Is brake cleaner? Seems like it but maybe not. Not alot of help here just thinking out loud. Well not really out loud but you get the point... I'll stop before I hurt myself.

When we have to and we have some handy it works real good.

I can throw a burning cigarette in hydraulic fluid or even a lit match. I wouldn't try that with Ether. I suspect the propellant in brake cleaner is flammable but not near as much as starter fluid. Hey, I have done the same thing but I just wanted to give an alternate that works also.

I prefer to clean my hydraulick quick connects with no more tears baby soap, as it causes less friction on the fitting and it doesn't get tearry eyed when I'm using it.


Sorry, my heads ready to explode, what a day.

;-) I use WD-40 or Hyd. fluid in a squirt oil can.

That ether stuff will evaporate very quickly. Spray some out on a surface and watch it, it wont be there very long.

That's what shirt tails were invented for. A shop rag you lay down and never have it at hand when you need it, shirt tails you alwasy have with you. Wife has never been thrilled with the concept, but after 35 plus years she's finally adjusting.

Dun, guess that you are a better teacher than me, I've been trying longer than that to convince mine that oil and grease on a shirttail is a natural occurance.

Rahter than adjusting I probably should have said "given up"
