Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

That's what I've read before about inline oilers before Bruce. Do you just take the air line off and squirt some oil in the steam inlet periodically?

That's all i do Jim. I squirt some "turbine oil" or vacuum pump oil into the air lines occaisionally. These are both oils i use in the refrigeration industry- they are high grade oils and i have them on hand. I am sure others can suggest more common substitutes. I have seen some fancy lubrication systems used at shows, but never on units with a boiler.
The engines i display at shows are not toy engines and so the boiler is seperate and not needed at shows where there is air.
