Is Engine Degreaser Ok To Use When,...?
 
WSUP FOLKS? I think I have a vac. leak or a broken seal,heres the deal.For the vac. leak I've been told to spray like wd-40 in the bay and if the engine revs. i have a vac. leak. What I was wondering since my engine needs a bath anyway,is a degreaser cool to use for the vac. leak check or is it to combustable,creating a hazard??

LILTTLE HELP WOULD BE GREAT DONT FEEL LIKE BLOWIN' MY SELF AND MY CAR TO PIECES!!!

Dear god, don't do that! You'll end up with a smoldering metal block where your engine used to be. Use the old carb cleaner trick, and do it safely.

Still not working? Hmmmm. Try the carb cleaner and get back to us.

Years ago WD40 used propane as a propellant (good for starting a campfire on a rainy night). After some expensive lawsuits, they removed the propane, so it’s OK to leak check with it. Then use the degreaser according to it’s directions.
