Why would one have a spark gap in anything other than regular air?

It would be H2SO4 --- sulfuric acid. Water vapor present would combine with the S when the SF6 brokedown. Unlike each part is atomically bombarded (like in an accelerator chamber, ie baked out) water vapor is always present when the metal heats up.
