Ken4555 1st Gear January 28, 2010 Share January 28, 2010 (edited) dont drop in the mothball to the oil tank directly!!! u need to use a bottle to mix the mothball with petrol 1st b4 pouring into the tank. otherwise, the mothball may choked the oil filter! thank god i didnt have time to try today... if not maybe kanna choke liao... haha... how long will it take to dissolve? i can throw it in the tank and leave it inside for 1-2 hours should be ok right? i saw the myth buster clip... they tried adding so many other stuff... including bleach... haha...

Actually, it doesn't really matter. cause your intake pipe comes with a pickup screen. Its a lifetime filter thats meant to prevent big particles from getting into the pump. Whatever that gets thru the pump will stuck and dissolve at the filter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scared liao.. the one 1 bot are those standard white balls. not very easy to disolved completely but given some time and enof petrol, it will disolved. those toilets type? guess you r refering to those big big piece type?? nvr tried b4 but i guess it not easy to disolve easily cos i see some coffeeshop using those in urinal bowl and it seems to be very lasting despite hundreds of flushing by water + urine everyday..
