I just now had a chance to read this...


The only thing I know of that sounds similar is BGs' new induction cleaner.
ISC, induction system cleaner?).  Apparently it works alright, all I know is
it is some caustic shit.  Just last week, a mechanic did not completely have
the lines connected to the car, and ended up spraying himself in the eyes
and face.  It is -really- caustic...

I have not heard how horrible a car was before, and how great it was
afterward though.  I do know that we sell a lot more ISC under warranty than
we do 44K though (a fuel additive like Techron...).
