To those with Centerflag tanks with on/offs

[drewstair]

I have to replace the on/off pin in my dynaflow. My questions is should I use oil on the pin when I slide it in? Thanks

[FalconGuy016]

I dont think so. In fact, im pretty sure its extremely dangerous and explosive, but im not really sure if that applies to the pin

[Kevmaster]

I would. It can be hazardous, however you have to ignite the flame before the oil will cause a problem

[FalconGuy016]

I thought just the sheer pressure from the air would ignite the oil

The on/off is on the output side. You'll be just fine, I would guess it would be a good idea. Those O-rings are under a lot of stress and without oil they could leak or be damaged.

Listen, the isolated incident of the tank igniting was from putting a hefty amount of oil IN the tank itself, through the fill nipple. There is 1 documented case of this happening, but TONS of people did it, and most likely still do, because they thought their reg needed lubrication.

Falcon, when you gonna learn bud?

I've been in the process of getting a dynaflow (WEEeeeeeee!) so I've done my share of research. Check out this post on Pbnation (wow, it's useful! )

CenterFlag recommends a high quality Lithium Grease; that's what they use at the factory.
