As well as providing a cooling medium, transformer oil is also used to insulate a transformer. As its dielectric strength (how well it insulates) is much higher than air, it means that components within a transformer that are at different potentials can be placed much closer together if they are immersed in oil. So, operating an oil-filled transformer without oil will likely cause insulation breakdown within the transformer.

Hi Yes I have been running about four Ford LDV's On transformer oil for about three years now. No problem. The only problem is to get enough at a reasonable price and then to purefy the oil to acceptable levels. I bought my own purefication plant and uses about 1500liters of tranformer oil to run vehicles. for business use. We travel a lot.
