Order the repair kit and install the a new diaphragm and seals for the repair. The compass fluid is triple distilled kerosene. However, Kerosene, Naptha, clear lamp Oil, mineral spirits can all be used. Personally, I would stick with the really low vapor pressure fluids lke Kerosene or lamp oil (which is also kerosene) -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM -------------------- Hello all, I have a compass (airpath cb2100-T4), but the fluid is a bit gone. If I ordered bij arcraft spruce it is a dangares goods thing. I did a search in the kr history mail box And found that is is alcohol that I need....in the compass. I have isopropyl alcohol, should I flash the compas en replace it compleet with alcohol? Or only top it up.
