My Cantenna-type dummy load developed a pinhole leak in the can, and all
the mineral oil drained out.  I have several gallons of clean (unused)
peanut oil left over from Thanksgiving.  Is there any reason not to use
this instead? From internet sources, the flash point appears to be
higher than mineral oil.
