Don,
Dinol/ Dinitrol for cars is not sold in Canada - except AV-30 in spray cans
- and then you have to buy a case of 12 - Oh yes and they do have 19 litre
cans !!! What is 3125 specified for? I know they use Dinol in the UK for
cars but when I spoke to the US chap he said Americans were not interested
in quality just price so they only sell to the aircraft industry - and
AV-30 was as close he could advise to do cars
