WET-DOWN - 40
I have heard/read that it contains FISH oil. I have seen this info a couple of times. I have been a mechanic for many years and sprayed a lot of stuff. WD-40 has never impressed me with any of their claims. I like to use Marvel Mystery Oil and /or ATF. Have you ever seen rust inside of an automatic transmission? Or an A/T technician with dirty hands? WD-40 is a great starting fluid as its propellant is a propane/butane mix! And it can be used as a weapon if you hold a lighter in front of the spray!!

No and NO

It does not have fish oil in it - no matter how many times you've read it.

The propellant is common CO2 - not propane or butane or a mix of them.

And if you want to light it and risk it flashing back into the can and exploding in your hand, have at it but not me.

Read the Manufacturers Safety Data Sheet if you want to cut through all the BS floating around. MSDS are a federal requirement and, believe me, the fines are too steep for a company to lie or omit ingredients.
