Mechanic In A Bottle Update/Test

last, use what ever gives you piece of mind as i will continue to do the same, i like what i am using and until i see something better i will continue using the B3C products..i like that piece of mind.

Hey B3S chemicly absorbs water. Its better then adding more alcohol to do the job. Maybe some day it will be available in Canada. You would think that they would want to sell it here! Wonder what is blocking it?

Till then we canadians will have to make do!

I really think all they need to do is get set up with a distributor who can and wants to handle all of Canada. Its the way they sell or are set up. We will see how my package makes it across the border maybe I will be arrested for trying not to use SEA FOAM! Sorry Indy had to capitalize the letters and the opportunity to post them. lol

Wow some heated discussion going on here. I was the lucky guy plowing snow all day and then some time for brewski's. I have just ordered 4 cans of MIB and I fully intend to use it in one of my rx1 for storage I will make sure it is mixed good and that it is burning in the carbs when I shut it down this sled will not be started until the fall when its time to get them ready the others I will do as I have always done with AV gas. Just started my XCF 440 fan cooled polaris for the first time since last winter and it only had seafoam and maybe a gallon or two of av gas started right up and is running like a champ.

Ya I been plowing snow and then more snow. The rain melt turned the driveway to ice the tractor tire chains just spin on it. Block heater quit working in the truck might be the stupid -18C switch in the cord. Bought battery blanket so the truck will start in the -32C till I can get it to the dealer tommorow for warrentee work. Snow blower needs a new belt its slipping.

Wish MIB could fix all that, well except the snow part I love all the snow.

you are also 100% correct again, fighting the ethanol problem buy adding more alcohol is definitely the wrong way to go about solving the problem.. also alcohol burns so much hotter it is not good for our engines.. the higher ups at B3C are aware of this thread and actually read it daily. to be honest i have gotten more inquiries about the products from you guys north of the border than the guys around here, and have made my B3C rep aware of the inquiries. so there is hope that some day you will be able to try it.. As I stated i am a warehouse/shipping manager and have had nothing but a total headache trying to get simple parts such as an air filter for a lawnmower to a customer in Canada.. When it showed up at his door 2 weeks later (customs uuugghh) he had to pay duty on it and refused the package, so I got it back 2 weeks later with a good amount of cost to our company that we had to pay for.. I shipped it UPS..i also know that using the post office or mail is a better way to get parts to Canada, but the post office wants nothing to do with any haz mat product.. and i have to be honest with them because it is thru a business.. person to person it probably would just be easier to lie about what it is, so i am at a loss on how to get it to you guys other than letting my B3C rep know you guys want it and i will continue to do that.. if any of you guys up there have any friends that own or work in small engine dealers/repair shops ask them to look into the products, the guys at B3C might set them up as a distributor or dealer..

Tell your BC3 contacts to get a hold of Canadian Tire, Walmart and or Napa they are all capable of distributing and sell this product nation wide in Canada.

well in no way am i speaking for the folks at B3C by saying this, but i think they use a distributor like us because we have sales men that can go out and demo the product and educate the user of the product, like i would say that about 20% of our sales are to dealers for end users like you or I, the other 80% of our sales are to commercial accounts like garbage removal companies, large landscape companies, and municipalities, like this morning i have to pick a $4,700 for a very large tractor trailer repair company and they order that much about every 3-4 weeks.. those companies are buying 55 gallon drums of the stuff.. I also think they shy away from the box stores because those employes can not educate the end user.. how often have we all walked into the Depot and had to interrupt the 18yr old kid from texting to ask him a question that he has no clue how to answer???right!!!lol.. again in no way am i speaking for B3C, its just what i think... if one of you guys in Canada want to pm me your address ill try and send you a bottle or 2 myself (not thru my work) and see what i have to go thru to get it to you.. its worth a shot..

UPDATE:

sled was running rough, so yes, I did pull the carbs. The inside was spotless, even shiny. No white flaky residue, no green slime, all but one jet was spotless. The one jet that had a microscopic piece of something in it, blew it out with my mouth.

Earlier in the season I changed the plugs to what I had; cr9e. I put in CR10EK's and she runs great. Problem fixed.

The MIB did its job, very clean carbs.

I just got my four bottles today.
