To be fair all approved turbine oils contain TCP not just Mobil Jet 2, and it is one of the isomers of TCP that actually causes the problem not TCP itself.
Just a small point, I agree that Tornados run on OX 26 but Mobil Jet 2 is approved to OX-27 OX 27 is the joint services designation for turbine oils and several oils are approved to this specification (Def Stan 91-101) including Mobil Jet 2, BPTO 2380 and ASTO 500. OX 26 is the joint services designation for oils approved to specification (Def Stan 91-100) including BPTO 25 and ASTO 555. Higher load carrying oils such as OX-26 are required for the RB199's |

We breathed in PVC fumes. Wow, we must have been tough! Or daft!

It was difficult as the fumes were overpowering. Severe cuts in the skin healed very quickly and I put that down to the bleach. Didn't medics use bleach and water to treat severe burns in the Korean war? |
How true.
I started out at a big engine company in Derby back in 1969. Thought nothing of using the old tric degreaser, acetone from the labs, kero, no gloves or eye protection. At least we had clean overalls every week. |
So what happens when OM15 and OX26 are mixed in a RB199 ....

Dried them out a little and turn them white but left no lasting effects. It was the only thing that would remove the sealant and grease. How, its been banned, I guess because it worked. |
If you mix OM-15 and OX-26 by mistake you're in big trouble and would need to drain the engine and re-fill.
OM-15 is a mineral hydraulic fluid and OX-26 is a synthetic turbine engine oil and never the twain should meet. |

Suggestion: Take a latex glove and fill it with dry ice. Tie it off with a wire tie and sit back and watch. Sooner or later the air will leak out (all at once through a big hole accompanied by a big noise). |
Have used latex gloves in past during car oil change.
Having fished the sump plug from the bowl the oil was being drained into, i then removed gloves to find my hands were slightly greasy. With diesel oil it seemed to act as a filter for the black matter. |
