Management are " reasonably confident" that OQD would be available Monday. My experience of contaminated hydraulic systems is limited to cars. Can someone with some knowledge expand. Would you have to replace all or some of the following? Actuators, pumps and flexible lines? Thanks.
I can't verify the accuracy report but an engineer told me that OQD's problems stem from a certain overseas maintenance facility which used the wrong fluid in the hydraulic systems. A lot of work is required to change pumps, filters, actuators and flush the lines.
