Default Stopping a Tail Tank Drip

Jim,

I'm not familiar with the syringe you speak of. It would have to be
small in both diameter and length to work, as the tube is only 0.375
inches inside diameter and is probably 12 inches long (and turns 90
degrees, too). I was thinking more along the lines of a cut down Q-tip
bonded to the end of a wire.

I'm also not familiar with air tool O-ring grease. I'll talk to a
mechanic friend about getting some. Thanks for the idea.

How about a syringe thing that is used to give babies an oral dose of liquid
medication? Hot glue a small stir stick or small tube of some type, and it
should be able to get up there to the source.

I also might make a suggestion to use air tool O-ring grease. It is a long
chain grease that acts almost like it has long fibers in it. It should stay
around much longer than Vaseline.
