Re: [Non-Roc tech] Engine flush?

Chocolate milk looking is very bad! usually indicates water in the oil.
Just as a side note if you look on those engine flush canisters or smell
them you will notice the main ingredient is KEROSENE. Me and some friends
have used kerosene to clean out the motors of old beaters before, but be
aware the engine block can DETONATE!!! ie. grenade literally. be careful.
hopefully the magic flushes have defused the kerosene a little!

careful out there
