Garage
Where I work we are not allowed to use this. It is flamable as an aerosol and on rags. On open flame it's as close as you can get to a flame thrower. I cringe when people have told me they used it on spark plug wires in the damp to get a car running, but I guess that works to. As it burns it smell just like kerosene

For those of you who only use WD40 for lubrication purposes, you don't know what you are missing.
