Oil in water pump? Oil pump?
I'm concerned with my water setup as of now. I've been pressure testing on water for the last few days, and even tho my system is more than strong enough I had a major blow off of a tube, and I'm just not satisfied with regular water and or methanol anymore. I'm looking into other coolants and with respect to this section of the forum I have a few questions.
Has anyone ever ran oil in a water pump or can tell me for certain this is flat out stupid? (Im talking about a nice Iwaki... Something expensive)
Would It be possible to run an oil pump in the loop?
Is oil stupid in a loop? I would think I might have more of a seal problem.
Also please keep in mind there are low viscosity oils out there too, but maybe anything more viscous than water is a bad idea. I'm also aiming for a chilled water solution so low temps ie -50c are a must. Thank you in advance.
