Posted: Nov 17, 2009 08:48 AM	Milky TSL E-30 I read about this somewhere on here but can't seem to find it now. The TSL on my A side became all thick and milky looking and actually blew the breaker to the motor. I pulled the pump of and cleared all the old stuff out. What caused this?

If the fluid is not changed out it eventually turns to a paste which will get thicker and harden after time. If this happens the paste is pulled into the pump possibly causing it not to seat properly and could lead to the pump seizing up,which in turn would cause the breaker to trip. When the fluid in the lube bottle turns white,change it out. Always "PARK" the reactor when you are shutting down to assure that the lines are closed. The B side pump is not self lubricated and will need TSL put on the top of the seal to keep it from drying out. If your lube bottle TSL is changing after a short time you may have a leak on your A side pump.
