Heh. I'm sure I've read about it as a blasting medium for delicate
aluminium panels.

You can use fag ash or cornflour or even tooth paste for fine polishing.
I think it was bicarbonate of soda as a blast medium.

Provided the powder's combustible. Won't work with sand - will work with
metals. Won't work with ash, will work with soot.

Just a thought. The original Diesel was designed to run on Coal dust,
but was quickly swapped for veg oil, then later fossil oil.
What sized injectors and fuel lines would you need to pump Custard into
a VAG TDi and how would you keep it dry?
I can just forsee yellow sludge clogging the breather system and
slopping out of the exhaust pipe.
