How did you know I was in the pub?? I was only proping the bar up and chatting to the wenches.

Turbine Oils containing Organophosphates

Special oils, designed for full size gas turbine operation, may contain hazardous chemicals such as organophosphates. Given suitable precautions to avoid skin contact and the breathing of vapours these oils can be used safely. However non-toxic alternatives such as TCW-3 two stroke oil are available and have been used successfully in model gas turbines. Many operators may prefer to use these oils because of their environmentally friendlier properties. If you are in any doubt as to the suitability of these oils for you particular engine you are advised to consult the designer or manufacturer.

What do I know? only that full size crew avoid ALL direct skin contact and never stand down wind (this is also more to do turbine bits coming loose). If you read the COSH notes for the turbine oil "Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations" - COSSH... then it is pretty clear don't put the children, pets or fish ponds down wind. I think the organophosphates mentioned was a useful substance within Suddams Weapons?? Lastly its just a good reason why less oil or TCW3 is better all round.
