Default PZL compass question

The Airpath fluid should do nicely, but you really should get a gasket
kit for it because if it had good gasket(s) it would probably not be
empty and if it were just drained and left empty for no reason, the
seal is probably beat by now anyhow. I have not opened up a PZL
compass, so I can't offer any insight to fabricating a gasket if one
can't be procured. Just a thought...

When I bought my glider a year ago there was a PZL Warszawa ll compass
that came with it but was not installed. Looking at it I found that
ther was no fluid in the unit. Looks like a nice little so I thought
I'd refill it an mount it. The problem is that I dodn't know what
type of fluid to use. The PZL website states that it uses "ligroin"
but don't have a clue where to find any of that stuff. Any ideas?
Thanks
