I should still be OK to use. I would get the Kerosene that is sold for space heaters. #1 I think. If you get it for space heaters, it has no "Road use tax" here in Iowa, and is a lot cheaper, and it works better. BTW, I bought one of those $79 pressure washers for cleaning engines, and it doesn't do too bad a job. The first one I bought came from Menards, and didn't last 10 minutes. I took it back and got my money back. The second came from Harbor Freight, and I got a 1 year guarantee. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
