Brent,
No need for confusion. By Law, the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is required to be made available to the user on just about any chemical product. This information sheet covers many details about the product. I.E Product name, trade name, color, odor, storage info, flash point, first aid, incompatibility with other products, hazardous info, ingredients if they aren't a trade secret and a host of other information. It is usually easiest to get this information online, as some product MSDS are several pages long.
Below is a link to the B-12 carb cleaner in a spray can. I would send the MSDS in a link but it is a PDF file and I don't think I can. Anyway open the link beside the can you will see MSDS. Click on that and you will see the very informative list about that product. Scroll down and you will see all the solvents that are used in that product. Don't know what that solvent is? You guessed it. Google that solvent, click on that MSDS and on and on... Thank the EPA for MSDS.

Some cleaner products actually work and some are as somebody said is just a derivative of kerosene. So, if I could sell you a 12 once bottle of say Kerosene for $6 a bottle I would be verrryyy happy!. The B-12 used to be a bargain at $2 a can. The price has creeped up a bit but some of the other products out there are pretty pricy. I probably sound like a salesman, but just a satisfied user. Interesting, the pour in the tank B-12 additive is too strong for a plastic bottle in it's undiluted form. Always follow mixing instructions and sometimes more is not better.
I hope this helps. _________________ Chris |

Companies are not required to use conventional chemical nomenclature in MSDS
Each chemical has several different named
Easy to confuse a regular person
Plus they can use propriety names
I have not read every fuel additive MSDS but at work have read thousands plus authored some _________________ Brent Barrett |

Prime example: Star Tron MSDS: Proprietary Organic Compounds

Solvent Naphtha (Petroleum), Heavy Aliphatic
64742-96-7 265-200-4 > 95%

HAZARD CLASSIFICATION: Xn [Harmful] RISK PHRASES: R: 65
Which really tells us nothing about the product composition. _________________ Bob Austin
