Like many, I have cleaned the "pills" for my injectors at annual by soaking them overnight in Hoppe's.
Couple of months ago I organized and stored my extra restrictors, thinking I might need them since I am still balancing the cylinders.
I wrapped them in a small piece of paper towel soaked in Hoppe's, thinking this would be a good way to store them.
This is what I found when I opened the small ziploc baggie today:
Needless to say, they aren't going back in the airplane. It seems to have corroded and eaten away the metal.
Makes me have second thoughts about using Hoppe's for cleaning.
