Re: [TCML] Re: Tar
If the transformer can did happen to collapse, it would fill the whole
pumping system with oil, a VERY bad thing! If you want to use a vacuum pump, maybe
a refrigeration vacuum pump could be rented for a day or two.

Bob,
If you pull a vacuum in the transformer can, be sure it is strong enough
to
withstand the difference in pressure. Atmospheric pressure will crush even
a
round steel 55 gallon drum if a vacuum is created inside. There is a ton
(literally) of pressure on each square foot with only 14 PSI pressure
difference,
so be careful you don't implode the transformer can.
I also seriously doubt that any sign shop would try to evacuate a
transformer can with their pumping system. That's not what it was designed
to do. I
wouldn't want to risk contamination of my pumping system with oil vapor or
the
possibility of sucking oil into the manifold.
