| Subject: | Air Filter Dessicant |
Guys, I used an after market dessicant in Doug's in line air filter for the CJ6.
The stuff turned to a solid & totally plug the filter. So, a word to the wise
to use only Doug's recommended dessicant.

Here in the desert southwest, things are probably less humid than other locations,
but I have used this in the air-water separator for my CJ for years with no

One would think that the MIL Spec dessicant from AC Spruce should be OK.
However in the deyhdrator plug application (stored, non operating engine) it
would not be subject to any significant oil contamination.
Is oil contamination a factor?? I expect that most of the compressors on
our engines are worn enough to emit a fair amount of oil.
Paul, is this the product you were using?

Also of some interest is the fact that when I ordered the blue desiccant
from the factory I was informed that the EPA has ordained that the blue
stuff is not good for us anymore so they could not sell it to me. I guess
Spruce never got the message (or has a bunch of old stock). Anyway, the
current opinion by those who look out for us is that the orange (turns to
grey/green) is safe for us to use, guess the blue stuff killed their rats.
Just kinda makes you feel warm and fuzzy all over knowing that these folks
are looking out for us.
I saw Paul's filter and it could not have been more "caked up" if you had
poured it full of Plaster of Paris. The stuff was white and harder than a
rock.

I think that it was determined that if you ate 3 pounds of blue desiccant, and
swallowed a quart of oil at the same time, your health would be at risk 20 years
later, plus it would impact Global Warming.
Good to know.

No. That would only lubricate your top end. Of course the bottom end is also
important and it might help there as well.

Hi Paul;
I was referring to the possibility of contamination with engine oil
which can happen with a high time compressor.
I contacted a desiccant company for advice. They indicated that
Activated Alumina rather than Silica Gel was the best choice if oil
vapors are present. The specs suggest that it has a better absorption
rate than Silica Gel particularly with high subject air temperatures as
we would have. However is not available as an indicating (color
change) desiccant. Whether it can be dried and reused I have yet to
determine.
