Yeah brilliant idea. Trying to save yourself 20 or so bucks by baking your old accumulator... Next lets save money on PAG by running motor oil. |

I did not say to do it instead of replacing it (I would replace it because it acts as a filter too) I was just saying how to are supposed to reactivate it if you want too. Also, at 250 degrees, the oil would not provide any barrier of concern to steam/water vapor wanting to escape. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com |

Lots of things hold on to water at that temperature by virtue of hydration energy. This is one reason you need a dessicant in the system to start with. Water is tenacious and wonderfully hard to get out of things. The "universal solvent" would rather stay dissolved. |
