Im going on a looooong-ride next week, and wanted to try that. Can someone tell me how much to add when I fill my tank on a '02-ST?? Thanx, J-

If you just gotta do it, why not follow the directions on the can?
BTW, for the right price I can sell you some magnets to put on your fuel line that will make more fuel than you can use.

Enlighten me please

Can someone please explain what this product is.

And can we give poor old jonny a reasonable answer?

If it's crap then lets hear why if it's good and does something useful then lets tell the rest of us.

For me I have no idea what it is????

Ok, for those not familiar with the product.
www.marvelmysteryoil.com/

FWTW, buyer beware.
This should start an interesting thread.

Thanks Ond

Ok now I get it thanks Ond.

Yes I expect this will bring out our scientists!

So it's like a Wynns type fuel addative product basically that claims to cure all ills in your engine and fuel system.

carry on folks...................

I will include a free bottle of MMO (Marvel Mystery Oil) with each purchase of Carter's Liver Pills and bottle of Snake Oil purchased before the Christmas rush (shipping and handling extra)!

DaveM, it is a very light oil, red in color, that was very popular (along with STP type products) not so many years ago. It did everything but roll back your odometer. A squirt in the spark plug holes prior to storing a vehicle, a little in the fuel to clean grunge from the carbs, etc. I use to put it in an inline resevoir for my air tools to keep them oiled and fight off the moisture that always seemed to be in the air lines in the shop. I don't think with recent motor, fuel injection designs and the fuel formulas that it has the same audience it once enjoyed. I don't believe that small amounts would hurt, but I don't know what it could help and may(?) be harmful to cats.

More knowledgeable folks will no doubt provide in depth analysis.

Cheers all.
Bob

Sounds to me like the former 2-stroke riders just don't feel "normal" unless they add something to their gas.

No fair! I offered my Fuel Generating Magnets first. Buy my magnets and I'll throw in some Mother Ruby's Esoteric Wheel Balance Sand.

On a serious note, we used to supercharge VW engines with Judson blowers that had spring loaded phenolic wipers. To keep them from wearing out, we fed Marvel Mystery Oil into the intake. We used the factory supplied dispenser kit, a Mason jar.
