Oh, damn. I messed that up. I typed up "Wurth Gel works too or Simple Green." but then I changed my point and accidentally just replaced the two products I listed and not the rest of the sentence. You can see I also accidentally backspaced too far when changing them, erasing the "or" (which I replaced) and only had one "o" on the 'too' (that I missed when replacing "or"). So I meant to say, "don't use nitro fuel or carb cleaner.". Good catch Rob. Wurth Gel and Simple Green 'sorta' work, which is why I changed my point when typing. My bad.

Armor All might be better, but I think the plain silicone lube would be better for the rubber/silicone parts. I would think that it's not so much the heat and humidity that is corroding the rubber bits, but the nitro fuel itself.
