Are you going to get the exhaust ports siamesed too?

Mmm, I wonder. Maybe a touch of rose-tinted speccery. One example that comes to mind is the (fortunately) now defunct 1970's motorway 'fast lane flasher'. I'm sure there are plenty more we can think of. It's people, innit?

If you brim the tank before any lay up of the vehicle there's less/no space in the tank above the fuel level for moisture-laden air to sit so less/no hygroscopic take-up of water by the fuel (or so theory has it ).

However, ethanol is hygroscopic, meaning that it attracts water from the air and, over time , the water will separate out and lie on the bottom of the tank promoting rusting.

I rather like Duck Oil.

I don't think it would be any use to me - my ducks don't squeak, they quack.
