Over here in the East we usually use Dextron, but you are correct that is
transmission fluid, but it really cuts the krap loose, Of course it
smokes a little, but then again, we don't have inspection laws or smog
regulations,  so who cares??

Not only do we clean our fuel systems, but always put the van upwind from
the house and barn and it does a fine job taking care of the mosquitos.
