I dont mean to be the nay sayer, but I think your spark might have been under water until you pulled in some air. I suspect that your spark did not get to the gas. I filled a 500ml plastic bottle with gas. Used a steel wool igniter in the bottle connected to posts to the outside. When I hit the button the darn thing went off like a stick of tnt. Very powerful blast that left a freakin' crater in back yard. So I am pretty certain that the gas is highly combustible even if no air is present.

You might be partially right.
The spark was not under water but maybe there was enough water left on the syringe-walls to conduct ,and therefore decrease the spark energy.
Still strange that the yellow spark dit not ignite the gas.
