I've preached it and preached it right here on this forum to use water in a spray bottle to find vacuum leaks and always get ignored or argued with. So, I'm just gonna let people burn their crap up. You caint fix stupid, so I'm gonna stop tryin.
I have been using a propane torch it works good. I would use water if it is a bigger leak. Propane gas finds it fast and if it lights up you leave off the trigger and it goes out instantly. always have a fire extinguisher. You can even use it under the dash on ac cars. I turn it to low. and do it in spurts. Don't lay on the trigger for a long time . It will blow the windows and you out of the car
I never tried one without having a trigger. I am not that fast in my young age to turn the knob off quickly. But I did have the torch light up from a bad wire already. I could not imagine if I was using carb cleaner what the results would have been.
My friend that lost his 75 lifted 4x4 years ago. By the time he jumped down from the truck the flames were to high to get back up there with a rag he had. So he just tried to throw it on and smother it. That was the end of that Power Wagon and then he had a mullet with no eyebrows.
I tried not to laugh but when I looked at him staring at the truck burning in amazement with no hair or Eyebrows and his chin bleeding from slipping off the front bumper. I couldn't hold it back. I had tears in my eyes and it wasn't from crying.
