It is not something that everyone wishes to keep in there garage, and it can(if using high percentages of it) eat away at fuel lines and injector seals after longer periods of time.

Nice results though and it is good for cheap extra horses

I had my mapper remove it as it was just to much of a hassle. Plus the fact it's really nasty stuff not only to the fuel system but also to your health.

Just make sure you wear big rubber gloves when handling it as it's absorbed through the skin, to much and you drop dead.
