Re: Kroil substitute...
Amen !!! One of the problems we have experienced in the fuel injector reconditioning business is short shelf life ( after ultrasonically cleaning and flowing). We had tried just about every thing and marvel mystry oil worked the best but not perfect. A call to the "kroil" folks and the guy says you are close with the Marvel but you need to blend some Kroil into it. We now pack every injector in a 3/1 mixture of marvel/kroil. This is a picture a friend made me to apply the mix thru the fuel injector. My wife loves the smell of kroil on my clothes.....rbg :>) |

Bubbas Ignition, your wife is right. The smell of Kroil is great. I like it even better than my antique bottle of Singer sewing oil, which smells like all the old machine sheds on the farms. |

Re: Kroil substitute...
After reading all of the threads about Kroil substitute, I cant help but ask; Why don't you just buy Kroil and be done with it? It only costs about 5 bucks.

Re: Kroil substitute...
I think the discussion was more about what's being used and what might be better/best. JMO

Re: Kroil substitute...
The spray can of Kroil I bought 5 years ago cost $12 at the sporting goods store. I thought that was too much. Where is it $5?

Re: Kroil substitute...
Been using mercron/dexron for years. It's not quick, but it works great. Mixed it with lacquer thinner- yes it's toxic, like everything else in the garage (that's why they don't call it the kitchen) and had quicker results. Caution: don't eat it, breathe it, bathe in it, smoke it or light it with a match. Don't let your dog roll in it. YES it causes cancer. Yes that used motor oil under your nails is highly carcinogenic as well boys. Sorry to poop on the parade, but practically everything liquid or semi-liquid we use in the garage is bad stuff, from bearing grease to wiper fluid, it is all toxic in some way either to us or Mother Nature. My experience with type F is that it stinks and doesn't work as good. If you have to heat it it stinks even worse. The answer of the effectiveness of any penetrant lies in the detergents no matter which product we are talking about. Luke

Re: Kroil substitute...
I last bought Kroil about 8-10 years ago.... got one can of Aero-Kroil, and a one gallon can. The Aero-Kroil seems frightfully expensive and was gone in a couple months; the gallon has lasted years & I have given away some to friends.
I bought direct from Kano labs. |

Re: Kroil substitute...
I've heard that Dryer Sheets not only free rusted threaded fasteners, but they also are a good replacement for Zinc in motor oil.
Government studies have also shown gas mileage improvements of 40 - 50%. If you are able to stuff 5-6 of these in the spark plug hole of a stuck cylinder the engine will not only free itself, but it will rebuild the engine as it works it's way through. This brand works the best: |

While I am sure that Acetone is a dangerous fluid, who says it is carcinogenic? Apparenntly not those responsible for investigating it as shown below. http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/tfacts21.pdf |

Re: Kroil substitute...
Apparerently MSDS also does not concider it a carcinogen.
