Oh those old things ! Yawn
All over the place here.
Red'uns used to mark property boundaries especially those in dispute or changed through sales etc.
Always put down by Geometres (land surveyors) who apparently charge a fortune for the privilege.

The Hanging Basket Post in the foreground has a passing resemblance to an upside down FENO Borne Topographique

Hello trivia investigation enthusiasts!

Here's a question for you: does redex diesel treatment go off?

My dad having an electric car and being minded to have a slight clear out of the garage has gifted me this lovely part used bottle of treatment.

I don't recall hearing him putting the stuff in any of his vehicles since a previous mark three Astra 1.7 d estate that used to struggle at MOT emission testing, without a occasional second gear 40 miles an hour bounce off the rev limiter trip down the bypass, often with some of this magic potion added beforehand.
Said Astra probably left his ownership around 20 years ago
Hence my question!

what do you think does say a bunch of paraffin and some green dye last forever? Or better thrown away rather than chucked into the tank of one of my current vehicles?

Personally I'd consider using it for cleaning oily things but I wouldn't put it in the fuel.
