Green Hydraulic fluid

[Bricks]

Hello
Has anyone changed their Futura, or other hydraulically operated wash, to the water soluble kind Kleen Green fluid?

I’m not an operator, but I do know a bit about hydraulics. Was the old fluid water based? If not then you should stick to non water based hydraulic fluid. From what I know different pump designs need different hydraulic fluid types and dyes. Is your machine a Millennium?

Revolution. I don’t want the mineral based getting on cars. I’m thinking the water based won’t be so difficult to remove.

Was it always water based? I would say contact your distributor but no specialty equipment distributors exist anymore LOL

Based on what real-world experience?

I have an operator friend that runs 2 Autec In-Bay-Express machines and another friend that runs a hydraulic based XR1000 conveyor and they’ve told me that certain hydraulic fluids are tied to different pump designes.

No.

From what I know about hydraulics you should stick to the same type of hydraulic fluid it shipped with.

There are water-based hydraulic fluids that are designed to replace oil-based fluids. So once again, you are giving an opinion based on zero facts. Try reading the first post in this thread again and answer it appropriately.
