[TowerTalk] Oil for Dummy Load

[D. Scott MacKenzie]

Mineral oil with an antioxidant will work fine - or using straight mineral
oil.  Canola would work although also has problem of going rancid.  But you
can change it cheaply

Subject: [TowerTalk] Oil for Dummy Load

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.
