Hello Volks,

I just came across an old bottle of Hoppe's #9 powder solvent, meant for
cleaning the bores of rifles and shotguns. I don't even own a gun anymore (I
grew up on a Pennsylvania farm), but the smell of the solvent sure does take
me back to memories of great times, like shooting clay pigeons and hunting
pheasants on my Dad's farm.

Please don't come down on me for mentioning hunting, I don't do that
anymore, (maybe you would have to be born in the 50's or before), this is
about how smells and sounds can take you to a place that you might not have
remembered for some time. Music can do that as well.

Vanagon content: Hoppe's #9 would surely be good at cleaning fuel injectors,
but I have not tried it ;)

Cheers,

Dave Milo
