Remember the old cans of cleaning solvent marked "non-inflammable"? The senior tech when I got started in support used to demonstrate them with a match in front of the can - shooting a stream of flame halfway across the room.

His lesson was that the solvent was non-inflammable ... but the propellant wasn't. It's not a lesson that you forget.
