Today I compared the viscosity of two samples of BD with three oils
that I have used as damping fluid in the forks of my race-bike. To
empty a 5ml pippet took:
BD1-8sec
BD2-9secs
2.5wt oil---17sec
5wt oil 34sec
Extra light (custom blend)--10secs-(my favorite if I could afford
I use a 2.5litre conical flask with a watch glass on top and a hot
plate stirrer. I heat gently with a small stirring bug. The methanol
tends to refux in the flask (neck stays cool). 2 litres with 140gms
NaOH took about 5 minutes to dissolve this afternoon.

it's fairly easy to replace fuel lines with viton (or other flouroelastomer
