I guess I should finish that story. I was using ATF for most of themorning. It worked ok. you could see it from the ground but wasn't asdense as I would have hoped. I am not getting any build up on the strutshowever and hope that my 2 1/16" holes for the inlet will be adequate. Itried vegitable oil next and it was even less dense, but it had the plesantside effect of smelling like fresh stir fry or french fries. Yum. Made merealize that I had missed lunch and that I really could use some food. Mybrother said it looked like heavy exhaust. Duane was right over to thehanger after we landed looking for the details, Me guess is that we aregonna be smoken fools soon. I have heard from some of the old timers thatdiesel fuel/Oil (?) is what they used to use. I may try that or just buythe Canopus Oil. Mike, didn't you say it was about $4 per gallon? If sothat is really about the same price as anything but used motor oil. I mayjust go with that. I am up to trying anything I can get my hands on though.How about mineral oil? Is this just a hardware store item? ( make sure youdon't get confused and put mineral spirits in!!!)Steve EldredgeIT ServicesBrigham Young University> -----Original Message-----> Michael Cuy> Sent: Monday, April 19, 1999 9:55 AM> To: Pietenpol Discussion> Subject: Smoken STeveE>>> So Steve, besides putting Duane W. under instant IFR conditions> with your newly installed smoke system, (he he he) what fluid did> you find that worked better than others ??
