@klaatu@noauthority.social I wonder if brake cleaner is flammable?
For sure, I do not recommend pumping pressurised air into a cylinder containing flammable gas.
Do you know how internal combustion engines work?

@DazzaNZ@noauthority.social yeah we're not making a redneck diesel effect grenade. Most products use nitrogen gas so you could use a tank of that if you're scared but really you only need maybe 5 to 10 PSI or less so you can get the remaining fluid out of any spray can. Diesels ignite above 12:1 compression, much much higher pressures there. We're not even reaching old gasoline flamethrower pressures here and they still required a pilot light to ignite the spray with. Set the pump to auto stop at 10 PSI & UR good
