I have used plain tap
water on engines for years. I usually get about a quart in an easy to hold cup
or container. I take the air filter off (Carburetor) Start the engine, and work
the throttle by hand. This important, as the car will try to die. You need a
sensitive touch. Start pouring the water in a matchstick sized stream down the
carb, revving the engine with you other hand. Don't let it die. If it gets to
"choked" stop pouring water for a second. After I use the whole cup, a
carboned-up engine will usually run a lot better. A couple of things to watch
out for: It will create a LOT of steam/smoke, and if there are big chunks of
carbon, a big piece may come loose and jam the valves.

Question
John and others interested in
MMO,
I believe the ratio of MMO to fuel is 4 to 6 oz. per 10
gallons. It's on the back of the container. According to
what I've read about it, MMO goes through the carburetor as a
droplet, broken up like the fuel. When it enters the combustion chamber and
the gasoline ignites, it is vaporized and soaks into the carbon buildup on
combustion chamber walls, valve guides, around the valve stem, and on the
spark plug. As the MMO continues to soak into the carbon,
it eventually is loosened. And out it all goes
through the exhaust system! I have used it in my cars for at least
10 years. They run like they're new!

Hi All:
A question for those of you who use Marvel Mystery Oil as either a gas
or oil additive:
How much do you add to either the crankcase or the gas tank? I
assume a quart to the crankcase, but I'm not clear about how much to add to
the gas tank. Any thoughts?
