McGlaughlin Oil Company

McGlaughlin Oil Company has supplied lubricants from Columbus, Ohio since 1937, and its Petrol-Gel has been in production since 1952. Petrol-Gel is a tasteless, odorless sanitary lubricant made from a high viscosity paraffinic base oil with food grade additives.

Dairies, soft serve shops, bakeries, breweries and distilleries use it on the O-rings, gaskets, seals and valves that touch what they serve. On a draft system, a thin film keeps keg lid O-rings sealing, posts and disconnects sliding on easily, and faucet parts moving smoothly, without changing the taste of the beer.


Line Cleaning Chemicals

Cleaning your draft beverage lines only works if you are using good cleaning and sanitizing chemicals.  

To ensure a properly cleaning beer or soda line, make sure to use the right line cleaning agents and follow the manufactures directions.  Most line cleaning chemicals are an acid base which will help break down any build up in your lines.  Make sure to flush any chemicals out of your lines with a water or sanitizer rinse prior to serving your draft beverages.

Why Brewers Use Petrol-Gel

  • No taste or smell. It won't taint beer, cider, coffee or anything else on draft.
  • Stays put. It resists water, so it doesn't rinse off during cleaning.
  • Handles cold and heat. McGlaughlin rates it for 0°F to 185°F, with a melting point of 195°F.
  • Food-contact rated. McGlaughlin lists Petrol-Gel as USDA H-1 rated and FDA approved for use where incidental food contact can happen.

Where to Use It on a Draft System

  • Keg lid O-rings and the large lid seal
  • Ball lock and pin lock post O-rings
  • Gas and liquid disconnect O-rings
  • Coupler and probe seals
  • Faucet shaft O-rings, coupling washers and moving parts
  • Valves, gaskets and fittings on brewing and serving equipment

How to Apply It

Clean and sanitize the part first, then rub a thin film onto the O-ring or seal with a clean finger. A little goes a long way. Too much can trap debris, so wipe off any excess before you reassemble. Reapply whenever you replace O-rings or deep clean your kegs and faucets.

Petrol-Gel comes in 4 oz tubes, sold one at a time or by the case.
