I think I'd google a bit more and try and find out more first if it was me, though, and find out exactly what this heat is. I dunno, it may be a bit dodgy to go straight in and try it with something different. If I find out more i'll let you know!

Someone came up trumps when they designed that! The heat liquid, as I understand it, is something normally used to help start cars. I think its an american product, and one we don't have in the UK. I've been searching on the internet to find out more about it but have as yet to get to the bottomof it. Does anyone out there know exactly what this stuff is and what its used for? If so, pelase leave a comment so we can shed a little more light on it and see what else could be used as a substitute (for those outside the US) Thanks Hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this one. thanks for the comment!
