Hi, I'm a newby to the list preparing for a journey in my
brand-new-to-me 87 GLC.

Any of you used Slick50?  I had what seemed like some fuel feed
problems.  A mechanic who was trying to help told me (after the
dealer let it sit for two days ...) that it could be distributor
cap/rotor and he changed it out in the parking lot for free while
I learned how to do it... cool.

Didn't seem to help things and he had to go home....6pm last
Friday, poor guy. Then he told me to take it home....and put a
bottle of this Slick 50 into it.  Said it was like jet fuel...
"don't get it on anything."  says he.  Says it would clean the injectors.

I asked a few people who have Westies and work on them and they
said they didn't think it could hurt...so I did it.  Cured the
problem in 1/8 of a gallon or so...

or so it seems.

I've driven her maybe 20 miles since then, that's all.

any suggestions or comments?
