[PSUBS-MAILIST] WD - 40

[MerlinSub@t-online.de via Personal_Submersibles]

On a brushless motor it will maybe work with mineral oil.
On motors with brushes I have bad expierence with that.
Mineral oil is a big problem in a lake if a motor is even a little untight.

Hi Carsten, 
                        I did a small test trying to light the WD40 on 
fire.  It's not as flammable as I thought it would be.  I think they have 
improved it's non-flammability with new formulation. It's still somewhat 
flammable however. 
I will be using a light mineral oil in my motors.
 
Brian

Heat Vapor is may a problem with WD40.
May ensure that the compensating back is big to handle that..
We change to silicon oil for that reason.

I just ran one of my motors filled with the WD40.  It seemed to be very 
happy.  I mainly just did it to clean the carbon build up out of the motor. 
 I was surprised how sealed the motor was, it is open at one end where it 
mates to the gear box.  I was able to fill it up without it leaking out 
anywhere.  That could be an issue later when I want the mineral oil to fill 
all the voids.  I might need to actually drill some holes to get some 
circulation .
