Lin,
WD = "Water Displacement" - formula number 40 which means they (the Rocket
and Chemical Company of San Diego) got it wrong 39 times.
http://www.wd40.com/about-us/history/
I used this on my Sprite in college (wet Indiana winters) and then when
stationed in Quantico, VA in the 1970s. I remember driving during a slushy
freezing rain storm, and griving through a huge puddle which splashed slushy
water all over the engine (distributor and wires) and the car sputtered and
died. .I simply sprayed the WD-40 on the distributor and wires and got it
started right away, and was off again in minutes. Old British car trick.
Cheers,
Curt
