Jerry--
With regards to the article about using Moth Balls in the fuel tank,
do the new style moth balls made from "p-dichlorobenzene" work also
or do they have to be the old style moth balls made from Naphthalene?
In shopping at various stores looking for moth balls, all of them
were made from p-dichlorobenzene.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dave R.

Which I would assume meant the napthalene moth balls, but will see if he
can clarify this.

...Paradichlorobenzene (a chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon) is not the
stuff of which moth balls are made. Paradichlorobenzene is referred to
as "moth crystals." Moth balls are composed of naphthalene, which is a
also an aromatic hydrocarbon.
...Usually the commercial type mothballs are made of either naphthalene
or paradichlorobenzene.
