Is there a hydraulic additive to absorb moisture? Sort of an anti freeze for hydraulics?

Sounds like some kind of additive that makes Hy Tran suitable for transmission use(back when Hy Tran was 1st developed).Now after years of reformulation,the additive isnt needed.

Paul: I'm not directing this so much at you but rather almost everyone here at YT First let me say if you buy good quality fuel, oils, lubricants and coolants, there is no need for but one additive, that being methyl hydrate. Methyl hydrate will thaw locks, restore your windshield wash, remove frost from glass, deice your plane and keep your fuel moving in system. Problem with methyl hydrate, it evaporates. It also evaporates from all those fancy fuel conditioners, thus it has to be used as an additive.

The second part of my post is about scams. These guys here at YT are very quick to scream and yell about scams. Well try this one, probably one of the biggest scams in North America today are all thes so called additives on the shelves of automotive stores. For the most part you are just buying what's allready in your fuels, oils, greases and antifreeze. Just a shear waste of money, and just look at the shelf space it gets.

I know of no additives that allow use of contaminated fluid. The best solution is heat of use, or heating the oil in an open container to boil out moisture. Transmission/hyd. oil in winter never gets warm enough to drive water out. Another solution might be a filter (bypass type) I found a sight for them, (often used on machine tool hyd. systems with higher specs than any ag unit)
They are known to work, but I don't know the cost. They are modest in size and tidy in installation.
