	Can diesel be used for hydrostatic testing? Test pressures around 25-40 barg. Excluding corrosion resistance v's demin water. Are there any distinct disadvantages?

	Diesel could be used for hydrotest especially on cold season to avoid water freezing. __________________ Look over to the next challenge

	It's safe enough, in principle, though be prepared for major clean-up effort in the event of a leak. Water, in comparison, will drain harmlessly away or evaporate, with little adverse effect on groundwater, local flora and fauna. Diesel would be rather different! __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856
