I put this stuff in my water tank the other day.
C1012 - Anti Rust With Water Pump Lube
This is what lots of guys are using, right?
According to the MSDS (and the bottle), it's 10-30% naphtha and 1-5% triethanolamine. I assume the latter is an emulsifier to keep the naphtha dispersed in the water; otherwise naphtha is the same as lantern fluid, right?
What is the octane rating of naphtha, this naphtha in particular? This says that it's from 50-55, this says that autoignition point is significantly higher than propane or methanol. Is it possible for both to be true? What number should I care about?
If I keep using this stuff it's going to take a while to get used to the milky-white appearance.
