The mouthwash should act just like water injection. The 1/8" tubing will
limit the amount of mouthwash entering the combustion chamber. Cleans
the carbon off the pistons and leaves a clean fresh smell!
Is this really what GM top engine cleaner is? ggggg
BTW, the technical term for this test equipment is U-tube Manometer.
WHen filled with water it reads in inches of water column. When filled
with mercury, it reads in inches of mercury. When filled with mouthwash
it reads in ?????? Never saw that in scientific journals! But there
should be zero dispacement, so it doesn't matter what specififc gravity
is in there, and mouthwash is more visable than water. One could also
use water and food coloring.

ps, disclaimer for humor, GM TEC is petroleum based solvent, not mouthwash
