Re: Very Serious Problem With WVO

Interesting, rdixiemiller, tho in that case there was likely water and salt present among other things. Makes you wonder if there was salt or other compounds in the suspect WVO.

Just speculation, but, if an alkali cleaner was present, I'd expect a soap forming reaction. An acid that was oil soluble, or FFA reaction (which it's been said rarely reacts with metals), should have affected other components of the collection and handling equipment.

If the internal parts of the injectors were all that were affected, perhaps it was a severe cavitation erosion issue due to high water content, perhaps aggravated by other contaminants such as salt or sugar [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

Other thots;
-chlorine or ammonia based cleaners?
-somebody illegally dumping something in the collection container
-sabotage
