    AB to POE oil conversion

    Has anyone changed out a racks oil from AB to POE? If so any problems? Thoughts? I want to this so we can change out the gas and get away from the HP80.

    It would be no different than changing from Mineral to POE. Maybe a few more oil changes.

    I can definitely understand getting away from the HP80. What are you planning on going to?

    Have you looked into all the other work you are going to have to do for conversion? Gaskets. Certain types of ball valves. Just about anything that has a rubber gasket has to have the gasket changed.

    Yes. Ive done a few smaller sattelite systems...just not an entire rack.

    Its no different, just more of it.

    One thing I have seen overlooked is the older ballmaster ball valves with the acorn nut. They leak.
