    Ed's Red component questions

    If someone wanted to mix up a batch of Ed's Red (sans acetone), would there be any problem in substituting Power Steering Fluid for the ATF called for in the recipe ? Also, is there much of a difference between *odorless* mineral spirits vs. "regular" mineral spirits or stoddard solvent ? TIA

    Stabil. whats in it???

    What about using Sta-bil in combination with Seafoam ... ?

    Stabil. whats in it???

    Originally Posted By: demarpaint kingrob nailed it! I use Stabil along with MMO and haven't had any issues.

    It seems that many people here really like the Stabil product, but I've also read elsewhere (other hobby related forums) that are plenty of people whodon't like it and believe that (over time) it can actually end up making fuel worse ... Still not really sure what to think about the stuff or...

    A little kerosene in the fuel tank?

    Originally Posted By: kingrob As I recall really the only additive that anyone used was Marvel Mystery Oil, which in itself is mainly kerosene. Mainly from what I remember Kerosene was used to winterize the fuel, not to really clean it or anything. Is that accurate ... that MMO is...
