We need less than a gallon of transformer oil for coolant. Does anyone sell such small quantities? -- A host is a host from coast to & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433 |

The question is - what do you want to do with it?
The old MFJ - Heathkit - Cantenna - all you needed was cooking oil. If you want to hone an engine block - there is alternate substitutes. If you did an internet search - you would have found what you were looking for Amsoil has a lot of variants to their basic supply of oils. Siemens pays to get rid of hundreds of gallons a month of transformer oil from their old transformers. I'm sure ABB and Arriva does the same thing with their service crews. The thing of it is - although the MSDS doesn't say or does say which is bad for you. It does not take into consideration what you plan to use it for. Just dumping some oil inside of a transformer isn't going to hurt you. Breathing in the vapors of transformer oil which is being aeroated by a engine hone can hurt you and can make you sick. Especially if there is PCB's involved. |

There's been no PCB's in transformer oil (or anything else sold...) since 1979. GE is still trying to clean up the Hudson River. http://www.mfjenterprises.com/Produc...oductid=MFJ-21 Thank you. This is the coolant for the motor controller we built; for an electric Miata we've named QAR. The heat sinks have copper tubing embedded in them. We need thermal conductivity and electrical isolation since the heat sinks are 200V apart, and are not referenced to the frame. We tried mineral oil but the viscosity is way too high. Fluorinert would be ideal but would likely cost more than all we have spent to date. We're looking at DOT5 brake fluid as well. -- A host is a host from coast to & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433 |

Light, food-grade mineral oil is sold as a laxative for horses and cattle. One online source I just checked, lists it at $22 for a two-gallon tub. If you've got a feed store near you, it might be a significantly less expensive source for this sort of oil - cheaper than MFJ per gallon and you could save the (considerable) shipping cost. -- Dave Platt AE6EO Friends of Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |

Maybe I didn't read it correctly - I thought he said he wanted something that was cheap!
Cooking oil - $10.99 a gallon Some type of industrial oil - Tractor supply? $20.00 a gallon tops! Your MFJ oil $30.00 a gallon $30.00 doesn't fit my description of being cheap! We would first need to know what he wanted to use it for. |

Look up Refrigeration oils viscosity varies largely 100 to 700
and if you really want good oil lookup Diffusion pump oils diffusion oil is high temp. and high vacuum oil. "David Lesher" wrote in message ...

If the nuke power plants can store nuke waste on site I should be able to store PCB's on site in my transformers and capacitors, PCB's are the best dielectric insulator since sliced bread and have been around since the 1930's banning PCB's is bull, containment is the answer.
Viet Nam still uses PCB's I can get them there. 73 OM de n8zu Ooren Sunday, November 11, 2012 10:39:48 PM UTC-5, David Lesher wrote: We need less than a gallon of transformer oil for coolant.
