As Steve has suggested, we're probably going to order an oil diff pump
backed by a rotary for our new laser fluorination line. However, the main
worry is contamination of the oil and the prospect of changing oil which is
contaminated with F. What kind of oils are people using, and how often are
the oil changes? Someone on this list once mentioned the possibility of
Fomblin oils - can these be used with regular rotary pumps?
cheers,
Jason
