This is just an inexperienced shower thought, but could one use a small Estes
motor in some kind of orthogonal mount flush to the chamber wall as a liquid
engine igniter?

I second the recommendation for a spark torch igniter, which will also serve
as a team building exercise that improves confidence. Once you have a
reliable ignition system your team can move on to the next level.

From personal hands-on experience with TEA it's not ,my first choice for an
ignition system. TEB costs an order of magnitude more,i.e. $20 vs $200/gallon
as of 20 years ago. It depends on what you're igniting, how many times,how
often, ground vs flight,etc.. I prefer a pyro for one shot or limited cycles
and a so called 'torch' ignitor for multiple and repeatable ignitions.

Any guidelines for storage and handling of small amounts of these tetraethyl

Any recommended purveyors of small amounts?
