Hydraulic components (was Re: [AT] (no subject)

[charlie hill]

That might also be true Mike but it's not what I was talking about.  I was 
told, so long ago that I don't remember why, to never use galvanized 
fittings even for plumbing up a fuel oil tank for your furnace which is 
gravity flow or slight negative presure situation.
It has something to do with the zink and the fuel.

I'll try to remember to ask someone.
