Flushing lines
Flushing lines
(OP)
Hi,
Before transfer of a truckshop from construction to operation, oil lines will have to be flushed to remove large debris.
I received a flushing procedures from the oil system's supplier. But one thing that is not clear ; there are 5 different oil system, all of them I will use the same neutral oil to flush. Once I have flush one of the system with the neutral oil, can I re-use this oil to flush another system ? Or do I have to re-use a new batch of oil everytime.
Thank you,

There should be no problem reusing the oil unless there are slack points in the piping where the oil may collect. I doubt that this is your situation.
You will probably need to purge the first flush when you begin using the five different oils anyway.
