Truly horror stories!!
 A huge charge of the stuff went into the engine, through the intake
manifold, past the intake
valves into the engine, and in a few moments the engine seized so solidly
and suddenly that the airplane made a little sidewise crowhop.
It was as if someone had put a wrench inside the cylinder barrel between the
piston and the cylinder head.
Scratch one $12,000 engine!!!!
Now that was a true horror story!

world.
