Leak Found!!

Some of the team, Sanj (Rotating Engineer) Neil (Rotating Tech)...

We have had the Gas Turbine (old tornado engine) down for maintenance at a coast of a million quid for 3 months and unable to get it back online due to a small oil leak that could not be found (until today). The problem with an oil leak in a Gas Turbine enclosure is that there is fans that remove the hot gases within and if there is any entrained lube oil vapour it instantly set fire to everything.

So the very very small hole has been found and they are about to replace the 1/2" stainlees tube.. All smiles..

Big run up tomorrow...
