Add FP60 and FP3000 to the list of what will clean elemental sulfur out of the fuel system.

"safe for your silver" !

I wonder how much sulfur these adds actually remove from the surface... "just enough", which would be my impression, or "nearly all". I havent seen reproducible results of more than ~70% sulfur removal from metallic surfaces of Pd in 'real' regeneration processes.

then again, Im studying similar phenomena from a completely different angle.

A little benzene spike should be able to clean off the sulfur from Pd surfaces without issue... especially on a hot day.

How the complexation and thus cleaning works on Ag I cannot say for certain... depends on the competitive adsorption rates at ambient temperatures. Havent studied Ag to know.

Wasn't shell sued for high sulfer fuel poisoning some fuel systems lately in the mid-west?

yes shell did gt in trouble. someone accifdentaly, i read, turned a switch or knob, that is supposed to regualte the sulher removal form the feul, was turned off. so the sulher, contaminated the good feul. thats what i read. it was a 'human' error.
