[AT] Spam> Blue Devil brand stop-leak

[Beal Gleason]

On the Ferg. without a doubt the leak is through the center main &  
stopleak won't stop the leak there. As the tractor works it opens the  
leak & breaks the sealer loose. The cont. engines were bad about  
splitting through    the center main.
