Anyone,
What would be the effects of shorting an oil filled capacitor?
If an oil filled capacitor arcs over internally is it ruined?
What happens to the oil dielectric? Is it carbonized?

I am referring to an oil filled capacitor  where the oil is the only 
dielectric
separating the plates of the capacitor.

Cheers,
