I have a 200W dummy load that apparently once held oil. It is now empty.
At least that assumption is made on the basis that the bottom of the
container has a bellows loaded bottom to allow for expansion. There is
no place to fill or drain it but I can cut a hole and add a filler cap
real easy. Once open I can check for leaks and repair them. OK, now
what is the best thing to put in it...or does it really matter that
much.....Corn Oil is cheap and readily available. Is there any real
advantage to mineral oil? Or is there any real advantage to some exotic
concoction that I never heard of. What about a fan and lots of air, and
no oil at all.?
