What is hydraflush?

The reason I ask is because at the weekend I used some 'Hydraflush Super' which I'd bought from Pleiades some time ago, and it looks and smells suspiciously like LHM mixed with petrol. There's certainly a definite petrol smell to it anyway.
Is this likely to be the case, or is there some secret ingredient in it ?
Regards,
Nick

i suppose it would be like a kind of degreaser for the pipes but with an oilyness to it so the pump doesnt sieze. when you take the filters out and there all black,some of it may still get through so you run it with the hydroflush for a few miles then change it to normal LHM. theres a bottle of it at work but the instructions aint english so i could be wrong

- that would be 2000-3000 miles.

The only ones I have come across are Hydraflush and Hydraurinçage - both are used in the same way - leave in for 1000-2000 miles, change for LHM and clean filters; you may find that some of the crud has ended up in height correctors, so you may have to strip and clean these.
