                                  I've used it in place of starting fluid and I even used it to displace water.

                                                      Once I had a old junk mower that I needed one more mow out of and it would not run on gas but I could spray the carb with WD-40 and push it about 10 feet before it started to die. I got the yard mowed and set the mower out for the trash man.

                                                      Moral to this story: If it won't run on WD-40 it won't run on nothin!

                                                      When I did mud racing I always sprayed the whole ignition system with WD-40 before a run.

                                                          If you have nice wheels on whatever you drive in the winter months, WD will protect them and keep them from rusting.
