[DeTomaso] Fw: penetrants

[Mountjoy]

Oops!  Sorry Boyd. Thought you were having a little fun and being tongue-in-cheek.  

Wow, that one I don't know.  I didn't see the article personally; I got it from a friend as you read it.  I >>think<< one is something like Mercron and the other is Deltron and the former is for Ford.  I know the two are specific in their application for transmissions.  

For this >>unintended<< use as a 50/50 mix for a penetrant I'm not sure there would be a difference but I'm just speculating.  I'm sure others on the list may know.  I haven't tried either ATF personally as I'm in a construction phase rather than a deconstruction phase with my cars. 

Sorry.

        Don't know if people have seen this but since so many of us are working on
        our cars I thought I'd post this.  Interesting findings...

        "The following may be of interest to those doing restorations.

        Machinist's Workshop magazine tested penetrants for break out torque on
        rusted nuts.  They arranged a subjective test of all the popular penetrants
        with the control being the torque required  to remove the nut from a
        "scientifically rusted" environment. The results  are as follows;

        Penetrating oil.......... Average  load

        None ........................ 516  pounds
        WD-40 ..................... 238  pounds
        PB Blaster ................ 214  pounds
        Liquid Wrench ......... 127  pounds
        Kano Kroil ................ 106  pounds
        ATF-Acetone mix.........53 pounds

        The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50-50 automatic transmission
        fluid and acetone."
