I have access to a large supply of synthetic turbine oil, very clean. How do you think this would burn? It is quite thin, I think its pretty close to mineral oil...I want to get a deuce just to go off the grid, I'm not scared to daily drive one, if I can daily drive a head / cam six speed camaro with a heavy clutch I can do a deuce!
Also I was looking, and to my surprise the fire resistant hydraulic oil has a flash point of 430 degrees fahrenheit...I wonder how this would burn? I've heard of folks doing 30%....but I always figured this stuff would be so hard to burn.
Also I wonder how do you find the difference between autoignition temperature of the oil vs the flashpoint, They seem similar but Gasoline has something like a 50 degree celsius flashpoint but like 200 degree auto ignition temp (c).
Yeah I think I'll start collecting the stuff and filtering, from what I read (royco 500) is that its pretty much synthetic mineral oil...very clean too.

I seem to remember turbine oil having a high level of Benzene in it. Maybe I'm wrong, but I remember it not being the kind of stuff you'd want to get splashed with.
Definately check the MSDS for any bad stuff. Mineral oil is great but the additives can be deadly to you and people that have to inhale your exhaust as you roll by. You always have to think about collateral damage.

Thanks for the info.
I don't think it would be wise to try to burn skydrol. The autoignition temperature of LD-4 is 880°F. Not to mention the fact that it is not compatible with a lot of hose and seal materials (ie Buna N, Buna S, Viton, Neoprene, Natural & Synthetic Rubber, Polyurethane, PVC etc..... If you try it let us know how it goes.
Mil 5606 on the other hand should be no problem.

Synthetic turbine oil, good source?
