Re: Red X
"Wasn't RedX a UK fluid vacuum gauge/mileage aid popular in the 1950's? ISTR my Dad getting one for our 1950 Ford while stationed there."
RedEx is a brand of engine cleaner / fuel treatment here in Oz. Its major use is what's called a poor man's decoke. Remove sparkplugs, squirt 10cc of the sponsor's product into each cylinder, plug holes with rag* and crank the motor for 30 seconds. Replace plugs, start engine and let idle until warm. Dump remains of bottle into tank to clean fuel lines. Finally, sell the car ASAP.
* VERY important as it will eat the paint from the underside of the bonnet when it all comes spraying out in the next step.
