In case some of you do not know (or forgot), Cutting Oil is usually found in CNC machines which help to clean and cool the part on which the operation (cutting/ modifying) is done. It has a black color and gets white like milk when added with water. The OIL-Water ratio is 1:2.
Why cutting oil? Will incase you people did not check out my last post, I am using a car's fuel pump for a 'water pump'. If I use plain water and coolant, the pump gets jammed and burns out within 24hrs of use.
With cutting oil, I have tested it to run 48hrs straight with no visible problems. I am still testing it.
I need opinions. Please do reply. |
Is the pump submurged?
