Or it creates ash and carbon.

Go to any antique car or MC event and ask about Marvel, you will get two different answers and you can start a brawl if you try hard enough. Half the guys think it works, the other half think it is the problem.

I have no opinion, I have used it and not used it, I just am always amused when it is mentioned the strong and opposite opinions that come out. Carry on.
