<div>Hi Carsten, </div>
<div> I did a small test trying to light the WD40 on fire. It's not as flammable as I thought it would be. I think they have improved it's non-flammability with new formulation. It's still somewhat flammable however. </div>
<div>I will be using a light mineral oil in my motors.</div>

<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none;">May ensure that the compensating back is big to handle that.. <br /></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none;">We change to silicon oil for that reason. </span></p>

<div>I just ran one of my motors filled with the WD40. It seemed to be very happy. I mainly just did it to clean the carbon build up out of the motor. I was surprised how sealed the motor was, it is open at one end where it mates to the gear box. I was able to fill it up without it leaking out anywhere. That could be an issue later when I want the mineral oil to fill all the voids. I might need to actually drill some holes to get some circulation . </div>
