Default [OT] Drain unblocker?

Just seen the link to this on 'uk.rec.gardening'.

It does go on for a bit, but it made me wonder if it would unblock those
awkward to get to drains. ;-)

Great for sewer - clear blockage, redecorate bathrooms and give pleasure to
those enthroned at the time.

Also solves mole/lawn problem in one go!

Many many years ago, before I grew older and wiser (?) I cleared a
partial blockage between an inspection pit and a septic tank with 1/2
pint of petrol. The blast was strong enough to lift the 2 3x2 slabs
over the septic tank a couple of inches into the air. Similar idea to
above, just a different fuel. VERY fortunately it did not blow back
towards the house too much........
