RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] compensating



 

Another possible choice for compensating might be the Marvel air-tool oil. They claim that it is perfectly safe for all rubber components since most air tools have rubber o-rings. Silicone oils are not recommended for metal to metal components like bearings.

Might be time to build a tank for testing. I like hydraulic oil better than silicone. It is actually slicker. We used it by the drum with the Pisces boats.

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] compensating

Hi, The compensation subject again…

 

We compensate the Eurosub engines with WD40. Work fine at depth but somehow the  engines create gas so we have to pressure relief the compensation bottles every few dive hours. I try to get thin silicone oil to see if that works better.

 

For the time being I wonder how deep Minn kota’s etc. can operate NOT compensated (no oil and plugged).

 

Any thoughts/ expirience ??
