Thank you all for the email regarding checking re-distilled xylene.  I got
some good ideas of how I can check on a "periodic" basis.  This came out a
recent CAP inspection, it was only a recommendation, but probably is a good
idea.  We've been re-distilling xylene and alcohol for 15 years now, first
with an old BR, glass cylinder type and now the newer version.  We've NEVER
had a problem, all these years, except with a couple of spills because techs
forgot to close the spigot.  Thanks again.
