Subject: IML: veggie oil in hydraulic
systems
Lowell Howe got hassled by the environment people about
a hydraulic car lift (the kind that looks like a T and goes into the
ground) that he had put in on his property.
He used vegetable oil and
they left him alone. He said that he wiped his finger on the shaft
and licked it in front of them out of spite to prove a point.
If
veggie oil will lift an Imperial where hydraulic fluid once did, it might
go well elsewhere, but I don't have anything to contribute about its
lubriaction properties or affect on seals,
etc.
