What is the tube size and material, and nature of the mating nozzle?<br><br>Sean<br>-------- Original Message --------<br>On Apr. 10, 2020, 15:52, Alan via Personal_Submersibles < personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<blockquote class="protonmail_quote"><br><p dir="ltr">Moved my motor last night & found silicone oil had come out<br>

I am using a 5 cst silicone so hard to contain. It's a little bit like a penetrating oil.<br>
From the photo you can see I used an undersized tube to give a really tight<br>
fit on the thruster nozzle & used a crimp fitting which I thought would be more<br>
substantial than a hose clamp.<br>
Wondering if I should have gone for a larger tube & wrapped the nozzle with<br>
sealing tape, or covered the nozzle with some sort of sealing compound before<br>
attaching the hose. Or possibly go for a threaded nozzle & use a hydraulic hose.<br>
Another idea I'm thinking of is to put an additional hose clamp on it but put a heat<br>
Gun on the tube prior to tightening to get the tube soft to mold in to any recesses.<br>
Any thoughts or alternative suggestions?<br>
