I am not sure what is in WD-40 but I do know that is what my sons used as a
propellant in their "spud guns" potato launchers.  With its ability to shoot a
potato the distance it does I would assume it would work well as a starting
fluid.

Interesting that at that link it says that LPG is the propellant, yet the MSDS
that they provide a link for shows CO2 as an ingredient.  There is no mention
of LPG.  As a more definitive answer on the current formulation, the FAQ at
wd40.com says:


What is the propellant in WD-40?

A propellant is the stuff that helps pump WD-40 out of the can. The propellant
used in WD-40 is carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2 is an inert gas which helps empty
the can. Plus, the addition of CO2 reduced the number of VOCs, which helps
preserve the environment. Be sure to point the spray nozzle toward the dot on
the top of the can to ensure that the can fully empties.
