20-years ago I met up with this salesman who was selling toilet paper oil
filtration systems out of the trunk of his car. The product looked good,
however the concept...well I'll leave it alone.
I felt that Charman is best used in the bathroom.

How about a roll of toilet paper as an oil filter element? I am not making
this up! It was a fairly popular aftermarket accessory in the '50s. I even
have an old catalog from a speed shop that has an ad for it - It was called
the "RETLIF" multi-coil filter adapter kit.
