Some does, but since it's much more flammable than gasoline, once any

indeed. worked in a lab once where somebody had the bright idea to put
an open can of ether (i.e. starting fluid) in the fridge, so it
wouldn't all evaporate before tomorrow. middle of the night when the
thermostat cycled on with a little bitty spark, it blew the door off
the fridge.
