As per the flammability of WD-40, it also makes a good starting fluid for a
balky gas engine. Not as hot as ether in really cold weather, but a shot of
WD-40 in the intake of an engine is good for starting balky snowblowers etc.
and is a lot less dangerous than using ether based starting fluid.
Another bit of trivia for TowerTalkians.

Lloydminster SK - where it is forecast to go to -40F, or if you prefer, -40C
