Found this on a MGB list I'm on. Don't know how scientific it is but it seems convincing.
Here's some interesting comparisons on penetrating oils. Machinist's Workshop magazine actually tested penetrates for break-out torque on rusted nuts. They arranged a subjective test of all the popular penetrates with the control being the torque required to remove the nut from a "scientifically rusted" environment. *Penetrating Oil and Average Load* Nothing..................... 516 pounds WD-40....................... 238 pounds PB Blaster................ 214 pounds Liquid Wrench......... 127 pounds Kano Kroil............... 106 pounds ATF-Acetone mix..... 53 pounds The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50-50 automatic transmission fluid and acetone. Note the "home brew" was better than any commercial product in this one particular test. Note also that "Liquid Wrench" is about as good as "Kroil" for about 20% of the price.
