Is it phosphoric acid, to be used to make your own cola?

You have jumped into your own acid bath as a way of making everyone feel uncomfortable about continuing this thread? If so it is a noble sacrifice.

My guess - acid to top up an old lead-acid battery.

I predict that Australia will score the same number of runs in their first innings as the number of pages that we reach before Phil bothers to tell us whether any of our guesses are correct.

So that we could tell you why you bought it? I mean, if you don't know why you bought it how do you expect us to know? This doesn't seem a very responsible approach to acid.

Phil needs the acid to get rid of the limescale in his bathroom's washbasin. (This was probably guessed already, but I just thought I might help to pile some guesses on our abentee quizmaster).
I think he has seen a rare bird and is now after it. It will come up as a question the next time.

AHB's question.
AHB is close enough to take it; it was acid for a new, but supplied dry, empty battery - a replacement motorbike battery for an old 125cc I have just taken out of storage for a friend.AHB wrote:My guess - acid to top up an old lead-acid battery.
