The JD starting fluid is in a spray can ,
To get the ether out, first put the can in a freezer and let it chill right down(overnight)
Then take the can outside, invert it , I depress the nozzel by pushing the on the base of the can with the nozzel on concrete, let out all the propellent, I wrap the can in rag whilst doing this to reduce heat build up.
Then return the can to the freezer- the colder it is when you open it the less ether is lost.
Opening the can - some just punch holes in the base and let the ether trickle out, I use a can opener and cut the base of the can off, this is quick and the ether is easily poored out.
Store your ether in a DARK glass bottle, or a steel can, both of which must seal well as ether has a low evaporation temp ,-40degC i think. Ether also has a high vapour pressure so it tries to escape.
Store your ether container in the fridge, this reduces loss's.
Now suitable storage containers for ether canbe difficult to find, they MUST be SEALED.
I make mine from empty coffee tins, after thourily washing drying , I solder the lid on( mustbe a good clean joint, no pinholes.
I then use Brass Plumbing sockets soldered onto the lids as fillers. I use a 3/8BSP as filler /pooring spout and a 1/4BSP as a vent, use the same tapered threaded BSP plug as the stoppers. These tins are 100% sealed .
Another source of good cans is empty rifle powder tins - the ones with steel caps.
