Need to test injectors

[George M. Dailey]

Gentlemen, I think you are refering to TRICHLOROETHANE. A known carcnocinign
and greenhouse effect promoting chemical. I worked in a plant that used the
stuff by the train load. I've talked to factory workers that used to stick
their arms shoulder deep in vats of this stuff to retrieve tools and what
nots. It's an excellent degreaser or better yet, the "perfect degreaser".
This stuff will instantly stall a raging bumble bee, the big black & yellow
fellows with dual stingers. As with freon 12, it did it's job too well to be
kept leagal.
It's non flamable.
