If not properly maintained, oil totes are highly susceptible to entry of dirt or water. These large containers are often used to deliver bulk lubricants to maintenance shops. Most are top-fill units with either a compression ring or break-over hatch with a neoprene or cork sealing gasket and top-mounted air breathers. The seals can become cracked, broken or misaligned, and the breathers can be easily broken or vibrate loose. Therefore, the integrity of the seals and breathers should be routinely inspected to prevent dust, sand, water and other contaminants from entering the tote during transportation and use.
