Rotorbee - thanks for your concern

However, your video clearly shows a cloud of powder as the floats inflate - discuss.

Equally there is always overpressure from the nitrogen bottles to ensure a rapid inflation - the excess is vented and cold nitrogen escaping and expanding into warm moist air will create a cloud.

Yes, it probably is still oil but I will bow to public opinion.
