What are the hazards of starting fluid to a car?

[MacTaylor]

Short-term use of starting fluid will not affect the engine, but long-term use can lead to increased engine wear. Here is some relevant information about starting fluid: 1. Overview: Starting fluid is a compressed liquid product designed to assist cars in starting under harsh conditions. Its main component is low-ignition-point compounds, primarily ether, which has a low flash point and is highly volatile, facilitating smooth engine starts in low temperatures. 2. Usage tips: Before each use of starting fluid, it is advisable to preheat the engine appropriately using hot water or other methods to raise the temperature at startup. Avoid directly spraying cold starting fluid, as starting a cold engine with excessively low component temperatures and high oil viscosity can lead to inadequate lubrication and accelerate component wear.
