   A coworker (an old refrigeration repair guy) had one he ran for years.  Before each job he'd dribble some oil into the inlet, and he had fabricated an oil trap on the outlet out of some old rags.  Most of the oil would be trapped on the way out and dribble back in when it wasn't running.
   Unfortunately, after sitting unused for 2 1/2 years outside, rust had set in, so it wasn't working so well last time he tried using it.
