I just started a thread about this a few days ago, titled "Sticky black tank value: How to lube"
Silicone spray or plumber's grease was the consensus there, with a strong "replace it" contingent, but mine are located so they're easily accessible. Access seems to be one of your main obstacles.
I love WD-40. It helps keep my business profitable. What a lot of people do not know is that WD-40 will cause some rubber to swell and soften. Some Viton and buna o-rings will be ruined by WD-40. My company repairs and calibrates electronic and pneumatic calibration equipment. A lot of the operators in plants think WD-40 will fix anything, so if it doesn't work right , soak it with WD-40 and then you send it into us because it not going to work now. So I like the stuff.
OK, I'm ready to get slammed and flamed by all the WD-40 worshipers, I have my Nomex on!!
