No, Power Steering Fluid, like Brake Fluid is inflammable.

Petrol is flammable.

Water is non-flammable.


Semantics I know but there is a difference. This is how it was explained to me be a chemist at an Oil Refinery (who, let's face it should know);

Inflammable means that a substance will ignite at atmospheric pressure when heat only is applied, no ignition source is needed.

Flammable means that a substance needs either an ignition source, a pressure increase, or both.

Non-Flammable means that to all intents and purposes a substance wont burn even if you apply heat, pressure and an ignition source.
