Its too bad because that stuff worked a LOT better than the water they sell now.

I used it to clean out my boost line once....and some got into the intake. When I cranked the engine it must have backfired because it kinda cranked....a small "poom" noise occurred....and stopped the starter dead in its tracks. I proceeded to remove the boost line and feed a LOT of air through it into the intake from an air compressor to clear the air. I cranked....and it started up normally. Probably came close to disaster that time. It obviously survived, as it was nearly 70,000 miles ago.
