My big truck mechanic told me to buy some to put in my air lines for my brakes.. I now have a pretty good sized container of it left as it doesn't take much.. What else is it good for??

I vaguely rcall some sort of gadget to add to the motor that fed a bit MMO while it was running. Something to do witht the valves? I did have such an incjector on my 59 Volvo ?544? when I had a Judson Supercharger added to it. It was not a successful mod

I'm usually a nonbeliever on most potions that people dump in there engines but Marvel oil works!

I had a high mile SBC in Off road Blazer that devolved some bad valve sticking , reluctantly I caved into my buddies telling me MMO would loosen it up so I gave it a shot. Held it at half throttle and dumped 6-8 oz. down the carb and bam it cleared up.

I put a few drops in a gallon of bar oil.

Keeps the chain sharp.

I add 2.5 ounces to every 5 gallons of gas in my old truck when I go to fill up. don't know if it helps or not, but I like to think it does.

When I worked in the fabrication shop, we put I few drops in the air inlet of all pneumatic tools before every shift. A little extra life for tools that got used to death.

I put it in the dog's water to cure his cancer, add it to my iced tea because it's cheaper than Viagra, and one time I killed a cobra with a stick. Or maybe it was an automatic.

The next time you see Elvis hanging out at the corner Stop 'N Rob with Bigfoot and the aliens, ask him what he thinks of it. Probably swears by it.

i saw a blackstone labs analysis of the stuff, its basically atf.....
I heard it was like atf mixed with kerosene. I've heard the old timers talk about adding a pint of kerosene to the motor oil to help rid the engine of gunk and build up. Just what I heard. I'm a Lucas fan. I add it to my fuel, use oil stabilizer in my engines and transmission anti-slip, and also use their gear oils. Stuff works.

I had a really sludge toyota, I gave it a kerosene clean down, **** comes out in clumps. Only a last resort treatment.

You should read some stickies on your Lucas fuel treatment. Not recommended. Or actually reduces fuel lubricity in every study I've seen.

One of the additives is toluene I believe. That's why it cleans sludge/ carbon so well. It does work for clean up of dirty engines but that's the only real thing it is good for
