I know what a Schrader Valve is, but the second part of your question has me puzzled too. George of Scaramouche, Lake Ontario, Canada

Both are good and sharp but I prefer the 7X mostly because I've found it almost impossible to hold the 10X steady enough on a moving boat. George of Scaramouche, Lake Ontario, Canada

This thread was started upon discovering a black gooey slime in the diesel tank which may or may not have anything to do with the use of Biobor JF. I forgot who started the thread but would like to obtain some more info on the situation from anyone else who has encountered the black slime.... I am the one who found black goo in my Racor filter after a year and a half of inactivity. George of Scaramouche1, Lake Ontario, Canada

The only remedy, as far as I >know, is >to take the filter apart and clean the bowl by hand I don't consider 1 1/2 seasons a "very long time". especially since Diesel bought at the same time and stored in red plastic 5 Gal fuel containers was clean as a whistle. Main difference is that I added Biobor JF to the actual tank but nothing to the fuel in the plastic containers. I did clean the Racor bowl by hand and changed the filter (2 micron). Hence I repeat my earlier question: Has anybody else had this problem of sudge after using Biobor? George of Scaramouche, Lake Ontario P.s: My engine runs fine - no sludge ever got past the Racor!

Had a very nice female sailing friend a while ago who thought that discarded mens jockey shorts make the best soft cleaning/polishing rags available (after cutting off the elastic s of course).

You're welcome - that should be enough for a decade or so George of Scaramouche P.s: It also works well on auto and motorcycle windscreens, helmet visors and mirrors. You can even use it on your aircraft canopy....
