Traction compound (not efi related)

[Robert Harris]

Bleach, ordinary chlorine bleach.  Thats why it's nicknamed the
bleach box or bleach burnout.  Works fine, used it years ago for
improving traction of unchained tires in snow country also.

If the first ingredient ain't Habanero, then the rest don't matter.
