There are many Audifans participants using the Mobil product.  There have
been no reports of problems from adding it to Pentosin that I can remember.
 There are three parts to the high pressure hose shown in ETKA.  I've only
replaced the high pressure hose in my 200q20v, so I have no direct
experience with a V8 high pressure line.  The flexible part shown in ETKA
from the pump to a steel pipe is 441 498 892C.  The pipe itself is 441 422
897C.  The flexible hose at the rack end is 441 498 892B.  No idea of pricing.
