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
