[PSUBS-MAILIST] compensating oil

[T Novak via Personal_Submersibles]

Alan,

Do you recall what oil Nuytco is using in their clear tubes?  Whatever it was it was clear and obviously it worked.

Alan,

I have not had ann bad effects from WD40 except a clear hose went solid.  If the mystery oil does not do thatI am happy.  I will do a test.

Hank,

you may not do any better with the miracle oil.

I  spent a lot of time looking for alternatives to WD40 for a low viscosity 

compensating oil. Talked with 3 different chemists. One specialising in 

importing exotic oils.

The low aromatic oils they advised still had a detrimental effect on insulation etc

in my thrusters. I went with silicone in the end as did Emile. Have two 20

litre containers of expensive oil sitting in storage.

Cheers Alan

Brian,

I need the oil for my electric arm motors.  Normally I would use WD-40, but the arm uses HP nylon hoses connected a suspension air bag. The hoses will harden up with WD-40 and loose their flexibility.

Hi All,

I need to buy some compensating oil and WD-40 will not work in this case.  I think it was Alec that mentioned Marvel Mystery oil?  It seems there is more than one kind of Marvel Mystery oil.  Is it the MM14R that I need to buy.  I hope so, it is cheap.

Hank
