Diesel injection cleaner does not work as hydraulic fluid

Today I got out the Mitsubishi with my little 6' plow blade to clear my driveway and parking lot of 2" of fresh heavy snow.

After a few raises and lowering my plow went on strike. I went for some hydraulic oil and spotted a large black jug on my bench with no label. I opened it and poured out a bit and proclaimed it hyraulic oil. When i poured it into the pump it created some sort of chemical reaction and the muddy bubbly fluid started a small volcano of stuff expanding and overflowing the pump. I tried a couple more times with no luck and finally decided maybe it was not hydraulic oil after all.

So I went back into the garage and spotted five feet from the injection cleaner the real hydraulic oil.

So I filled it with that, purged it a few times and now the blade minds my bidding, coming up and down at the flick of the toggle.

I then threw away the stuff with no label.

After hassling with plow the actual plowing of snow was very satisfying.

Volcanic fluid reaction has got to be something really weird.

Are you being obtuse walgamuth ?

Just as Lilly the Pink has no connection to reality, so did my reply. I guess my observations are hard to relate to.

In the early 1970's I had a Cal. Tech Professor fill the brake fluid resivoir on his VW with paint thinner he'd stupidly stored in a brake fluid can....

Then he wanted to blame _me_ .

Accidents happen , glad you didn't ruin the pump's seals !~ .
