When I have done the spray test, brake cleaner works. Not as volatile.

However, I have started this stuff on fire on a Ford Taurus with the FWD sideways mounted six. The rear passenger side plug was cracked and had absolutely no problem setting the fluid off. On the downside it is not as volatile so burns longer.

Hope this sets you at ease.
