[PSUBS-MAILIST] marvel mystery oil

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank,
how expensive are the motors?
Somebody posted the ingredients of marvel mystery oil & it had a large
percentage of solvent in it. It could possibly dissolve the insulation on
the motor windings & destroy other plastics in the motor.
Probably similar to WD40. Even though people use it successfully there have been reports 
of plastics becoming brittle. 
I experimented with WD40, soaking all sorts of plastics in it. Some it destroyed
in a day, others in a week etc.
