My mates always referred to 'cracking out the Vas' for some other past time.
![]() At least I know there is a legitimately good reason to use this stuff now.

The majority of rubber used in automotive including the tyres is synthetic biggest ingredient in manufacture is oil. Like say rubber fuel lines….. but to use Vaso as lubricant on say a condom which is a natural based rubber product made of Latex that would be bad as Damo said very bad….

Ive done the exact same thing on a 253 after a rebuild, Couldn't get oil pressure off the starter, so packed the oil pump to the gills with vasoline and applied spark. Oil pressure spiked, I gave it a solid rev and she was steady for ever after ![]() Still gets around in a Stephens flat bottom at 60mph no worries. Sure did take a leap of faith giving it that rev though! |

There are of course placed where Vaseline or any mineral-oil greases or greases based on synthetic hydrocarbons should not be used. One particular case is elastomers used with brake fluid (especially polygylcol based) as in that situation in contact with the fluid it will cause substantial swelling of the elastomers and likely brake failure (a small amount - less than 10% is actually desirable and this is achieved through the brake fluid and its additives). And generally if there is a special lubricant available for a particular purpose, it should be used over Vaseline or any other general purpose lubricant.
Yes; Vaseline does dissolve pure latex so there some risk if used as a personal lubricant with a latex condom (but the Pope may approve). Also note on Page 41 of this document http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rc...xgW9IHrI-F9WKA BTR recommend the use of Vaseline on the transmission sump gasket. It is often recommended in such situations as it provides a temporary adhesion with some improved sealing and once heated any excess is dissolved harmlessly into the transmission fluid. It's also water repelling. Similarly, when used to prime an oil pump it will dissolve harmlessly into the oil once the oil gets warm. Generally where fuel, oil or similar natural oil based products are involved Vaseline is a safe assembly lubricant for elastomer/rubber parts and seals.

"It is claimed that (Sir Robert) Chesebrough had such a firm belief in his product that he used to eat a spoonful of it every morning. He believed that eating a spoonful of Vaseline had tremendous health benefits, he lived to be 96."

Yes the MSDS http://www.physics.purdue.edu/primel...S/Vaseline.pdf suggests it's not toxic.

Vaseline on dry lips is as good as anything

At the end of the day what we are trying to do is keep oxygen away from the terminals. Most of the above will do that and so most work.
You clamp your terminals, metal to metal, then coat to keep oxygen away. |
