power steering fluid: not Pentosin

[Kneale Brownson]

Mobil DTE something is being used as a substitute by a number of listers.
I have  a pump that leaks when its cold.  I've been using a Shell product
called Tellus T-32.  It's available to me locally through the Shell
distributor in 5-gallon pails (I can use leftover in my tractor hydraulics)
for about $8 a gallon.  The Mobil product I would have had to special order
from my local distributor and the price was considerably higher.
