I would recommend that you examine the solubility of the chosen salt in
the oil you use. Salt solubility in oil, although small, is not
negligible.

The possible (likely) result is electrophoretic migration of the salt
through
the oil and the reaction of the salt with the mercury, thus killing your
cap.

It is possible to use a virtually insoluble combination of salt and oil
by
appropriate selection, but considering the price of mercury; you should
think this process out very carefully in advance.

Will the salt react with the mercury if the tank is disturbed?
