I don't know at this moment, my suppliers are waiting for stocks to arrive. Although it's likely to be less than the one that sounds like a headache tablet.

Not yet. Lets see what the verdict is. Hope you get a very detailed MSDS with it.

Cant wait to see the results from the lab test we will be running soon.

on a slight side note

i'm getting a diesel rib soon. what is the best way to look atfer the fuel, treat it to prevent growth of bugs/algae, or keep an eye on the filters and treat when needed?

any other advice would be gratefully received.

thanks
