    Seafoam for two stroke engines with dirty or old fuel. In fuel to stabilize (a la Stabil). It's saved a chain saw and a weed eater for me.

    You just need to plumb the methane digester into the air intake, then you will realize a 15% increase in mileage. I GUARAN #### TEE IT.

    One of my uncles back in the mid 70s developed and sold a product for auto transmissions. Claimed it stopped slipping and hard shifting. I cant remember the name anymore. Transgold maybe? It was mainly mineral spirits. Glad i was to young to drive at the time. Im never adding mineral spirits to my trans.

    I know a few farmers who used to spray windshield washer fluid into old tractors. Claimed it increases power. Probably just raised compression ratio. Probably not very good for the oil either

    Would clean it out real good. Not sure how long it would last after?

    Yeah. I dont know either. He sold it to garages around minneapolis out of the trunk of his car. Never took off as a hot seller. He was the president of the area miget racers association. Called sprint cars now? I was born in 67 so i wasnt really paying much attention in the mid 70s.

    Tractor pullers inject washer fluid downstream from the turbos. It makes them run cooler due to the alcohol water mix. That is what causes the grey smoke when they are building rpms & boost on the line.
    Man I love the smells and sound of the superstocks.

    That is great stuff and it smells like Pine-Sol. Gibbs is right up with it too.

    This actually works... But it is based from the days that washer fluid was mostly methanol. You still see imports and modern muscle running a methanol injector into the intake if they have really high psi from the supercharger or turbo, let's you keep high compression and prevents detonation.
