Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Air compensating motors

[vbra676539@aol.com]

Karl's experience, and the rust we saw when he tore down and overhauled the propulsion system on Idabel, suggests long-term dampness in the system, but whether from moisture buildup from air charges on his HP air or from minor seepage is hard to tell. I wonder if the use of nitrogen in a stand alone compensation system would be worth a try. And a slow, end to end system flush after diving. With no oxygen left in the system, rust would be held at bay, and the flush might warn you of excess moisture. Beyond that, it's hard to deny his experience. His system works. The oil comp does, too, so it gets back down to a choice.
