What is the difference of the red-in-color fuel gauge liquid: the 'olde' FoMoCo vs. the aftermarket? WHY WAS THE RECIPE CHANGED!

What happened to the colossal amount of 'olde' FoMoCo "red" that was sold to dealers throughout the USA . . . and the world, for that matter.

Most all of the original EFV8 items are obtainable. Why not this original item?

Obviously there was a patent on this fluid . . . by somebody. But, everything manufactured has a patent, and, yet, it is "pay at this window" obtainable.

There is always someone that believes in something; to wit, a product that

he/she purchases in a 'massive' amount, thinking that it will be sought after

'down the road' despite that product was produced for only 4 years to a

limited number of customers. In this case FoMoCo, but there were other auto builders that used it as well.

Surely someone on this planet has barrelsful from 80+- years ago?

Why are we content not knowing thee answer? Is it because only a minor number of EFV8 owners need it?

Where is Columbo when we need him.
