Hi Justin

I'm guessing that you have a small transformer from a dental tubehead.
Otherwise I don't think that anyone would be looking for 15 or more gallons
of Vaseline to fill the tank of a large x-ray transformer. Considering that
dental x-ray transformers develop 70 to 90kV, with a core not much larger
than the core of a big NST, clean transformer oil is the only sensible
material.
