Verrry interesting! oh-well the other stuff probably helps it out and the old
gas smell overrules it! BTW!!! I find that spraying the underside-especially
fender wells, engine compartment down the door windows into the doors etc,
really helps to stop the tin worm. A wash afterword gets rid of the oil slick.
The stick to itiveness of the new improved diesel would be an asset here! It
also lubes the choke cables and linkages.
