Marvel Mystery Oil is great stuff. I keep a quart on Touche' all the time. A
distracted fuel dock worker put a half gallon of gasoline in my diesel tank. I
had it pumped out but when I chatted with the Universal diesel tech manager a
few days later, he said I could have simply thrown a quart of MMO in the tank
to restore lubricity and motored on down the ditch.
Most Walmarts carry MMO.
I used it when I bought Touche'. Touche' had been idle for several years, I'm
guessing nearly a decade. The engine was stiff and inoperable. I pulled the
sparkplugs, poured some MMO down the holes and let it sit 3-4 weeks while I
worked on other tasks. I then carefully rotated the crank back and forth until
it spun freely. After a bit of coaxing, I got it to start. It ran fine for 4
more years. It was running fine when I replaced it with the diesel.
