Painting Inside Fluid Reservoirs

Hi, there is a product that may be useful to you,its called Glyptal.It has a red color to it and I have been told race car operators paint the interiors of their engine blocks to get max oil flow. Thanks, Brett

I've seen too many filters plugged with paint chips after a customer switched to a non-compatible lube. The best advice I can give about painting the inside of reservoirs is:

Just Don't Do It!

I'm sure there are plenty of race drivers who have unscientific anecdotal evidence that "proves" that you can increase oil flow by restricting the diameter of the passage, but I'm not buying it. Also, a product for hydrocarbon-based lubes will likely be incompatible with polyol-based fire-resistant hydraulic fluids.

Dear macabf,

The root cause of rusting/corrosion is oxidation. One route out is, to shut-off the oxidation process by putting up a barrier on the metallic surface of the tank. Paints, Red oxide widely used offer reasonable protection. But as Lamont rightly pointed out, chips/debris from paint will have detrimental effect on performance, as, in many of the sophisticated Hydraulic systems & FR Fluid systems, the fluid passes through very fine tolerance Moog valves and Servo valves.

Guys
FYI the product we used is International - Interline 975

Thanks for your input
