What happens if too much starting fluid is sprayed?

Spraying too much starting fluid can lead to increased engine wear and a decline in the overall performance of diesel engines. Starting fluid is an automotive auxiliary product containing compressed liquid to help vehicles start in harsh environments. The composition of starting fluid is a low-ignition-point compound, with a low flash point and high volatility, enabling the engine to start at low temperatures. Precautions for using starting fluid include: 1. Preheat the engine before using starting fluid; 2. Do not directly spray low-temperature starting fluid; 3. Low-temperature starting fluid should not be used simultaneously with preheating devices; 4. Avoid frequent use of low-temperature starting fluid. The method for using low-temperature starting fluid is: Remove the plastic cap, aim at the intake pipe of the air filter, press the nozzle and spray for one to three seconds, then start the car.
