I remember our AME built a rig for testing but it had no hood and we did it outside. I'm sort of amazed though that anyone would spray combustible liquid in this way. It seems to me you're asking for a major fire sooner or later. I remember attending the aftermath of spray paint meeting a hot plate...

We use varsol as well. It stinks up the hangar and your clothes are soaked in it for the rest of the shift, but probably not as bad as jet fuel would be. I know some shops use calibration fluid instead. We do it indoors near an exhaust vent but you still end up soaked in it. After 2 sms reports and ...

Airline I work for has increased pay substantially, improved schedules, treats pilots well, and has a good reputation on this board as one of the better 703 operators to work for and we still can't hire enough qualified pilots.

I'm curious as to the norms at your place, are you just checking spray at low then higher pressure, using a brush to swipe the tips and if all looks good they're good to go or are you first vibrating them in a soap solution, cleaning with hot water and then checking the spray pattern?

I was thinking of building a glass or lexan box with a drain in the bottom, the fumes don't necessarily have to be "extracted" just more contained so you are not covering yourself in chemical and filling the hangar with fumes. The light source could either be external or some sort of chemical proof ...

Several DeoxIT products in the above link and some info that should help your cause. For light oxidation you could try spraying the pins and engage the male pins into the sockets a few times, bad corrosion pins should be replaced.

Hi guys, trying to convince my shop to either buy or build a fuel nozzle test bench. Currently we are just spraying the nozzles into open air and I am looking to build something that contains all of the vapor. If anyone has any experience building one or any suggestions it would be much appreciated....

I know this thread is really old but I was curious if anyone ever found this crash site. I know where seagull lake is and as measured on google earth it is 19 miles from Ray lake so I would assume this is the location of the site. I had heard a story from people who hunted in the area of a tail of a...
