Andrei: You have a point. I never asked the mechanics over at the old Chrysler dealership where I had most of my Duster work done what was in that purple-ish fluid they used to check for leaks in the cooling system. Of course, dopey me, I never guessed that the leak would be strong enough to actually suck the stuff into the engine. Good thing I'm learning my technical stuff before I actually own a DeLorean. ;) Greg: It would indeed attract attention; I figure ricers will soon have paint made with this stuff so they can go down the street glowing all the way (luminescence adds 10hp, you know *grin*). Unless they've already done so ... as a pickup driver I have no need for the stuff. I'm perfectly happy being passed by Buicks out of a red light. (And then passing them on the Interstate, har har har.) Back to the original off-topic subject, though: Perhaps something small enough wouldn't do any damage. Does somebody on the list know just how big a "250 mesh" particle is, anyway?
