On the way back from the NEMGTRegister GOF in Canada, we crossed into New York 
State and the three cars in our group immediately filled up with gas( lot 
cheaper then Canadian prices). One of our group was pouring in the usual quart 
of oil to his leaking TD engine. As the poor pump jockey looked  at the engine 
I 
walked over to my friend and admired out loud over the wonder of his rust 
inhibitor device (the engine).  I told him "Gee how neat, that thing in there 
stores the oil and as you drive ,lightly disperses the oil in just the right 
amounts to keep a nice film on the engine compartment and chassis. " He 
replied,"right and this fan up here ensures and even coat" The gas attendant 
was 
so confused, didn't know to believe us or not. The car had no rust.
