Re: Methyl Hydrate

I am very careful about what I put in the tank other than gasoline.  I 
used a bottle of fuel injector cleaner that was supposed to have the 
same stuff that is in Techroline in my '78 Fox.  (I normally ... almost 
exclusively ... use Chevron gasoline)  The engine stopped running shortly 
thereafter.  I found the fuel distributor clogged with a whitish fibrous 
material.  I surmised that the cleaner caused my fuel filter to dis-
integrate.  Replaced the distributor & injectors and now all works fine.  
I'm not going to try anything else in any of the Audis (unless one of you 
all goes first!) :-)
