Default Moth ***** in gas tanks???


Earlier today, I was chatting to another unheated garage engine mechanic. He suggested I could put some moth ***** in my gas containers and small engine gas tanks in order to reduce condensation and thus, help keep water of the gas. Especially for my freezing winter climate.

Is this a good idea???

Sounds like it isn't worth the risk.

Thanks for the link.

I've heard about this many, many years ago at a race track.
I don't even know if they make "nappy" mothballs anymore. I know they don't have them in my neck of the woods anymore. I've looked around and they arn't the right kind.

I would think that the gas fumes would kill any moth that got in there.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]
