Ken,

Thanks for the educational comments. It was interesting to hear that you use mothballs in your tank. In addition to being an old tractor buff, I have a Ph.D. in chemistry (unfortunately, playing with old tractors doesn't pay any bills, so I have a real day job), and I know that mothballs are paradichlorobenzene, as you say a relative of benzene and toluene. I would think that you would get deposits or enhanced corrosion of the exhaust system from using the chlorinated compound, over another benzene derivative. When mothballs burn, you generate hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid), which is extremely corrosive.

Just my two cents worth.
