I much prefer the Bright Red explosion you get with Berryman-B12 Carb
cleaner over the near invisible Blue explosion you get with LP or Mapp Gas
from bottles.
You'll find that water works just as well except it kills the engine rather
than making it race up when you locate that leak.
I've still got both my eyebrows and proud of it.
Take a decent graphics editor and a picture of yourself and wipe out your
eyebrows, if you like that look go ahead with the explosive compressed
flammables.
