Strong acids cleave methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), releasing flammable isobutene gas (Peters, U., F. Nierlich, M. Sakuth, and M. Laugier. 2002. Methyl tert-Butyl Ether. In Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. (Online)).
Ethers can react with strong acids to form unstable oxonium compounds (Karas, L., W.J. Piel. 2005. Ethers. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (Online)).
