Another fish oil enthusiast
I suppose life as a fish would suck if you rusted?????
Anyone ever sus you out over the syringe???
I bet when you drive around you get followed by Cats and Coppers.
I can just see it, the Chemist calls the coppers, and surveillance teams
follow the mad bastard in the Datsun who has the biggest habit they have
seen and obviously robs seafood outlets

Another rust slowing hint for you people out there is wot I do twice a year.
Get a 2 litre tin of fish oil.
Go to the chemist on the way home and buy the biggest syringe you can get
off him.
It should only cost you a couple off bucks.
Go home and fill the syringe full off fish oil and inject it into every
little hole you can get the needle into.
If you use the whole 2 litres on a 1600 you will have fish oil running out
off wierd places for about 4 weeks.
I recon this should keep the rust at bay.
I hope this helps.
Till then bye for now.
