[Diy_efi] Re: Lubrication

[Bill Washington]

Bernd,
	I was not advertising, or seeking business simply quoting my experience.
and to correct your assertion: PRO-MA does have company websites in Australia, NZ, Canada/USA, Papua and New Guinea, and UK.

The main(head office) site is: <http://www.pro-ma.com.au/>

The data sheet for the grease in particular has more technical, 
performance and test specifications quoted than I have seen for anyone 
else's products.
I have a scanned copy and am happy to email it to you for your perusal 
and comments if you are interested. If not that also is fine. I am not 
in it as a business, but only for my own use and convenience. I use them 
because they are the best at what they do that I have yet found, and if 
someone can demonstrate to me something better that is affordable I'm 
happy to change my opinions, I have no axe to grind and nothing to lose.

I have been given to understand that these products have been used by 
the US military for a number of years, but since I don't have any 
documentary proof I could be mistaken.

I was going to reply to you directly, but changed my mind since you had 
commented on list, I thought that I should reply on list.

Best Regards
Bill
