Over heating -- followup and question

[Gregory OConnor]

Curt, They sell it just south of SanDiego. Just dont overlook the
great job hotwater and laundry detergent does. You can get sodium
phosphate in a plastic bag "Arial" at Stater Brothers. I soak gunky
oil with diesel fuel (diesel is thin oil). this softens the gunk
then wash the diesel off with hot water and laundry soap.
