Hi Dave,

	>Have identical coils been compared, with and without the oil?

Not the identical coil. But I've got 6 different solenoid coils and all but
the jacketed coil spit streamers out of the middle to top windings of the
coil.  There is absolutely no doubt that the jacketed coil is superior.

	>Is the coil inside, outside or both?
?
	>(I thought the original description was of oil INSIDE the secondary
only??)

The oil is jacketed.  It is between the 3.5" OD PVC and the 4.5" OD PVC.
There is air in the center of the 3.5" PVC.
