I have used transmission fluid for years. Just because it doesn't cost an arm and leg, doesn't mean that it doesn't work well. If you are concerned about it then there are a number of products on the market you can buy for many times the cost of transmission fluid. I have never had a problem with an engine or injector that I have put in transmission fluid. We didn't always have some of these fancy expensive products on the market.

That also doesn't mean it actually cleans the injectors. I've seen no proof, other than anecdotal evidence, that using transmission fluid cleans ANYTHING in the fuel system.

It'll give you some inflation of the tire and get you to where you can can your tired fixed.
Starting fluid is used to seat the bead, it is not fix a flat :roll: It is used in a bind when inflating a tire that is not seated on the rim. Kid's :lol:

You got that right Rev. I remember once a friend of mine sprayed it in the tire, and sprayed a long line of it away from the tire. When he dropped the match, that tire must have jumped 4 feet in the air. :shock:

I used to work for a guy who would seat tires like that. That is, until the one time he lit the thing, and it didn't go out, and he was frantically looking for some water to put the thing out with. Oddly enough, the next week, there was a brand spankin new tire seater sitting in the shop. :lol:

That's only because you haven't installed those magnetic collars on your fuel lines that give you an extra 3 mpg by atomically aligning the magnetic resonance of the fuel particles.

Dummy.

For $300, those things pay for themselves in 300 years. They're a great bargain.

Oops. My bad. I was using the big green horse pills that you drop into the fuel tanks, that are supposed to change the chemical composition of the fuel. ops:
