Have you ever noticed that your oil dosator doesn't work like it should?

It usually happens because it's clogged - so it's almost impossible to use it conveniently.

Let's find out why it happens and how to fix it.

It's inconvenient

An oil dosator can clog, which means it gets blocked, because tiny bits of stuff in the oil can stick together and form a kind of barrier.

Imagine if a bunch of small pebbles got stuck in a narrow tube - that's a bit like how clogs happen in an oil dosator.

It usually happens because of one of these three reasons.

Dirt and Debris

Sometimes, small particles or dirt in the oil can build up and block the dosator. It's like when dust collects in a vacuum cleaner filter.

Oil Solidifying

In some situations, the oil itself might become thicker and sticky, making it more likely to clog the dosator. 

It's similar to how honey gets thicker when it's cold.

Impurities

If the oil contains impurities or substances that don't mix well, they can clump together and create a blockage. 

Think of it like oil and water separating in a bottle.

What to do

When the dosator gets clogged, it can't do its job properly. 

To fix it, you may need to clean out the clog or replace the dosator, depending on how severe the blockage is. 

It's essential to keep the dosator clean to ensure it works correctly.

Conclusion

If you notice that your oil dosator is clogged, then it's better to clean it immediately and replace the oil, because it might be unsafe to eat it if it's spoiled enough to clog your dosator.
