[PSUBS-MAILIST] reversing contactors

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Brian,
I had something similar, but I had hose clips around the barbed fitting
& just took the vinyl tubing off to fill.
The current system I am building has a small oil reservoir with a filling
port & low level sensor in it.

I was thinking maybe I could drill a hole directly into the vinyl tubing (3/8" ) so I could insert a tube to enable me to pour the mineral oil in there.  But I'm not sure the best way to plug the hole where it won't work itself out.  Any thoughts ?
