[PSUBS-MAILIST] compensating oil

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

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
