If you must use starting fluid which generally contains an ether like diethyl ether, use abundant caution. The flash point is well below room temperature and depending on the particular ether could be below the freezing point of water. And mixtures in air of as little as 2% can form explosive mixtures (that's how it works as a starting fluid!). Some ethers in long storage can also form explosive peroxides.
