How much Marvel Mystery Oil per tank?

Ed's Red Bore Cleaner does a superb job of removing carbon deposits from my dirty shooters, and I would use it as a rinse in a dirty motor:

1 part Dexron II, IIe or III ATF, GM Spec. D-20265 or later;

1 part Kerosene - deodorized, K1;

1 part Aliphatic Mineral Spirits, Fed. Spec. TT-T-2981F, CAS
#64741-49-9, or may substitute "Stoddard Solvent", CAS #8052-41-3, or
equivalent, (aka "Varsol");

1 part Acetone, CAS #67-64-1.

Make sure the container you mix this stuff in is resistant to Acetone!

You left out the lanolin in the recipe! I've used Ed's Red and it's excellent for a lot of things, as an old school electrical contact cleaner, tuning capacitors &c. A lot of what is sold for cleaning purposes these days has been defanged or is only barely useful for blowing away light dust.

While I wouldn't try to mix Ed's recipe up in a styrofoam cup, in practice it doesn't seem to be too particular. Maybe the mixture of ingredients helps prevent problems. I use any handy empty spray bottle.
