[AT] Spam> Blue Devil brand stop-leak

[Indiana Robinson]

Bar's Leak claims to be installed by the factory in about 3 out of 4 new cars.

I have used it since the 1950's. A couple of stop leak products I
tried years ago built up in the radiator cores and heater cores and
had to be flushed out. I have never seen that with the Bar's Leak. I
have also used the Prestone product successfully and also that silver
powder but only once. It seemed OK.
