I do believe that your Fluidyne data may be dated. I believe the issue was that they at one point epoxied the core to the side tanks and the epoxy would fail. Recogniziong the error, Fluidyne changed the technique to solder. Thus, I believe the older Fluidynes were a problem and the newer less so. This is why you may be recieving mixed feedback.
