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

Guys,
I had no luck trying to find Dinol/Dinitrol in the U.S. I talked to my
brother, who is big into airplanes, and, in fact, is finishing building one
right now. These airplane guys don't screw around when it comes to quality
components (would you?). He steered me towards Aircraft Spruce once again
and I came up with this:
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/ap/corrosion.html
I can't attest to any of these products other than to note the obvious
quality demands of the industry.
Also, a while back there was a thread going on the Spridget list about
electronic fuel pumps. These guys have the best prices I've ever seen on
Facet pumps. Check it out:

See part #40105
