Hi,

Still very much available, in green metal tins at most decent shops. Try google.

Obviously, very nice to put a teaspoon in the fuel tank but would never run the car on it as it would coke the engine up in a matter on months.

No probs.

As I said, you can put a little in the fuel tank and you get the lovely smell without the pistons coking up. Remember, it's only wrong to cheat if you get caught.

I do run a castol R type oil on my v twin which still gives the lovely aroma and it is a 15/40 grade oil the only place i have been able to buy it is bike shops and it is flipin expensive £50 for a gallon so if you use it make sure you have no oil leaks!!
