Diesel works. I`ve used it when I was out of kerosene, but for soaking. If you are doing this on bike, be sure and rinse the diesel off with something (like WD-40) because if in contact with the o-rings too long, they will swell and bind the chain, then they`ll tear. Skip

Sarah, He uses Adobe GoLive 4.0. A little on the heavy side to work with, but for my money it's the best one out there. (No, I didn't send Marc a note, checked the source code.) *geek alert, geek alert*! Ralph Ralph E. Hanson 99 KRL 650 http://www.wvu.edu/~journal2
