    I would use kero (even though it is meant to be flamable) as it works for me.

    BUT what concerns me is the unhealthy interest you have in porn as mentioned in the second sentence.

    i used a bit of kerosene, then hung it on the washing line to dry out (was a rubber lip on it with a ring in it so worked sweet).... good idea with the compressed air thing!

    The amount of shit that came out of mine after 30,000km's was a lot more than i was expecting, im gonna be checking it every time i change the oil now!

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Compressed air from the inside out always worked for me, Kero is your own choice... depends how dirty it is.
