Old wives tales??

[Dago]

I am not a mechanic but from reading about old tractors Kerosene was quite abrasive, don't know if it would clean the injectors.

A teaspoon full in a bucket of hot water was good for giving a dull paint job some shine years ago.

Have heard this one. Old mate told me when he was in the fire brigade they used to wash the trucks with a scrubbing brush and Kero mixed with hot water. Reckons it bought the trucks up better than anything else.
