Water Displacement #40.

I heard about WD-40 being used to dry condensation inside the
distributer of a car. When I washed my car it wouldn't start, so I
removed the cap and gave it a spritz. I didn't wait long enough for it
to dry, and when I turned the key the cap exploded. Luckily the parts
counter was directly across the street, about 100 feet away.

I've done the same thing (Chrysler product, noted for distributor cap
condensation).
I sprayed it, then immediately wiped it out with a rag. Car started. No
explosion.

I had a slant six that if it rained a lot during the night, I'd have
to do that to start it in the morning. I tried everything, even made a
gasket for it where the cap meets the distributor.
