Does anyone have information on how to mothball a Denco Lube dual line grease system?

Hi Frank, we have not done this but from the reactivity point of view during storage we would be inclind to remove all grease from the reservoir and replace with Food oil ISO 220 or heavier and flush the system until clean oil is being expelled that way there will be a soft additived stable lubricant throughout the system with minimal chemical activity and aging over time. Off course this proceedure would be reversed when the grease system was put back into service.

Thanks Rob, we are doing just that, as well as flushing all lines with light mineral oil.
And adding VCI to the oil in the reservoir.
