Gentlemen,



did anybody out there

put ever ACF50 as a corrosion

treatment in the air system of a CJ?



It was recommended

to me by several AMEs

but I am still hesitant.

yes, I put ACF-50 in all the CJ's I maintain, both as

an airframe spray to prevent/ stop corrosion and also

in the air system. ACF-50 is a water displacer and

will help prevent the water trapped in your system

from corroding up components such as air tanks, check

valves, water separator, snot bottle, etc. just add it

like you would air tool oil when you service your air

system.

Guys,

Anything you put in the air system should be looked at very carefully.  If

it contains chemicals that will cause the rubber seals in the system to

swell it will cause you a ton of grief.  So proceed with caution.  My advice

is that if you are hell bent to use something other than what the book calls

for you should at least test whatever you use by applying it to a seal and

watching it for 72 hours or so.  I have no experience with ACF50 except to

spray it on the skin laps of my float plane, it may be just fine for use in

the air system, I really have no idea.  I do know that in the past month I

have sent new seal to a bunch of guys who commented that all their seals

were loose and sloppy....all swollen up.



Always Yakin,

Doug Sapp

Yeah... Happens when you put a tad too much oil into the system.

Learned this the hard way.
