Air compressor got water in the oil
I have a small dayton 2 cyl compressor that had ran for 24 hrs with a water leak spraying right on top of it. It got so hot it burnt and broke an exhaust valve which I have repaired with all new valves. Compressor runs perfect now but the crankcase oil was milked from sucking in water vapor. I've drained and refilled twice but I'm having a hard time getting all the milk to disperse off the cranckcase walls.
So my question is, does anybody have any suggestions of something I could add to the oil to help with breaking up the moisture. It only uses a half qt. of non-detergent compressor oil. Thanks for any suggestions.It's All Good
