I was watching the TV show "Mythbusters" on the Discovery channel and they
experimented with the "sealing the radiator with an egg ala McGyver" and they
found it to be "Plausible" . They puntured the radiator and droped an egg
into it. It sealed the hole in about a minute. Pretty cool, but may not help
your problem.
They also checked out
sugar in the gas tank - engine kept running (supposed to kill the engine)
Liquid Drain clog - engine kept running (supposed to explode)
Bleach - stopped the engine and turned the gas tank into rust overnight
(supposed to kill the engine)
moth balls - made their engine run better at higher revs (supposed to be an
octane boost)
Oh, and the myth of the diver in the lake getting pulled out and dropped into a
tree by a fire fighting helicopter - not possible.
