A T F /Pellgunoil

[B67]

I think in the current world we live in, non detergent oil is fine. Realistically, so is detergent oil. I don't think anyone uses silicone O rings anymore, except for vegetable oil apps....Pelgun oil has it's roots in diesel oils which is the highest detergent of all....

The little pelgun tube is very convenient, but expensive. But I don't sweat it. I also keep some 30w Briggs and Stratton ND around that I get in I think a two quart jug. When the little tube gets empty, I'll squeeze all the air out and try to siphon some of the cheap stuff in there. And probably buy another tube also.
I think I have some 30W mineral oil also that has been used on the Sheridan. It's a lighter color in about a 3 oz dispenser bottle.

If I ever run out of everything else, I'll give the tranny fluid a try.

Co2 Paintball tanks some Airgunners use use silicone orings

I have been shooting my condor and Talon indoors using co2 paintball tanks during the winter as it is less powerful than HPA.

I developed a slow leak on my Airforce co2 adapter, so I dropped a couple of drops of pelgun oil in the rear of the adapter, and screwed a new tank on, when it was empty a few hours (and 1/2 a tin of pellets) later, I unscrewed the tank, the paintball oring was HUGE swollen like a balloon.

I wiped it down, and over the course of 2 days it returned to normal size.

None of my orings had done that until I put the pelgun oil in the area of the oring.

So what ever is in it, doesn't go well with silicone paintball orings.

I think you can be pretty certain it was the CO2 and not the Pellgun oil that caused the "swelling". Happens all the time.

I have had the red orings on my fusion swell from the co2 every time I used them, until I replaced them with better orings.

But I had never had the silicone oring on any of my 12 oz or 20 oz paintball bottles swell while using them on my condor or Talon until I used the pelgun oil.

I Have used the pelgun oil on all my other co2 guns for years (old mark 1, umarex p08, umarex peacemaker, and dozens of 2240's and 2250's) and never had any problems, just on the paintball tank oring.

I have had CO2 rings swell as well...I was using Pellgun oil as well. I always blamed it on CO2 but now I wonder. Pell gun is high detergent.
