I agree the lower end is protected. What about the cylinder/ valves??

Ever see what color ethanol gas is after sitting for several months? [links]
Re: Have ya wondered what fogging oil is made of? IVE BEEN CHECKING, Do Ya wanna know [links]
And what does fogging have to do with ethanol anyway?
I would like to know whether I can use water based insecticide or oil based insecticide into thermal fogging machine for Mango hoppers control. If oil based then which oil & what will be the cheapest I can use.
Thanks

Hi… There are aquatic plants, fish and lobster in front of my home…
Every time after fogging (waterbased) all of my pets died…
I have 3 ponds at home…
Any neutralizer, please?
Hi Lynn,
As long as you don’t use a flammable oil-based liquid with the fogger, there shouldn’t be any danger of an explosion. more
It depends on what type of thermal fogger you have because there are some that work with both oil and water-based insecticides, and then there are some that don’t. Just check the manual of your fogger to see what type of liquid the fogger can be used with. here
If you want to fight and win against mosquitoes, you should try using a mosquito fogger. Foggers are an extremely efficient tool that lets you keep mosquitoes at bay for several hours.
During winter it is best to apply oils only when temperatures are above 40 °F. Apply dormant oils or higher rates of summer oils only after stems and buds have become winter-hardened and before buds begin to swell in the spring. Evergreen trees generally should be treated only by summer rates of all-season oils. Some evergreens, especially those with a glaucous (waxy) coat, may become discolored following an oil application. This usually does not harm the tree or shrub.
They also kill them by disrupting their feeding on oil- covered surfaces. Their toxic action is more physical than chemical and is short-lived. When used against plant pathogens, oils may smother fungal growth and reduce spore germination on treated surfaces. They are mostly fungistatic, stopping fungal growth rather than killing the pathogens. Stylet oils are highly refined oils and may control insect-vectored plant viruses in addition to insects, mites and fungal pathogens. These oils reduce the ability of aphids to acquire the virus from an infected plant and transmit it to healthy plants. Stylet oils may interfere with the virus’s ability to remain in aphid mouthparts (stylets). Some plant oils that contain sulfur compounds, such as neem oil, may possess additional fungicidal activity compared to petroleum oils. here
Oils are most effective against soft-bodied arthropods. They are most commonly used against mites, aphids, whiteflies, thrips, mealybugs and scale insects. Dormant oil sprays are also used against overwintering eggs and scales. Horticultural and plant oils are commonly used to suppress certain fungal diseases, like powdery mildew and black spot on rose. Stylet oils may be used to manage insect-vectored plant viruses. here
When treating a new kind of plant, it is best to apply horticultural oils to part of the plant or to a few small specimens before treating large quantities of foliage. With oils it is especially important to read, and follow label instructions and recommendations. Manufacturers’ labels provide useful information about sensitive plant species based on extensive testing. Some plants most commonly listed as being oil sensitive include azalea, carnation, fuchsia, hibiscus, impatiens, photinia, rose, cryptomeria, juniper, Japanese holly and spruce.
Similar paraffinic oils are found in automotive and household lubricants and cleaners. Petroleum oils may be referred to by many names, including horticultural oil, spray oil, dormant oil, summer oil, supreme oil, superior oil, Volck oil or white mineral oil. These names usually refer to particular types, uses or brands of petroleum oil. The terms “summer oil” or “all season oil” indicate that the product can be safely used on plant foliage during the growing season. Prior to the advent of modern, highly purified oils, the term “dormant oil” referred to heavier, less refined oils. They could only be used in the fall and winter after leaf drop or in the spring before plant buds open. Because these older, dormant oil sprays would damage growing foliage, they were used mainly to combat the overwintering stages of the pest or pathogen
Oil-based pesticides have low residual activity and must be sprayed directly on the insect or mite. To combat plant fungal pathogens, oils generally must be applied prophylactically prior to infection. Repeated applications of oils may be needed to achieve desired levels of control. here
