Is it worth trying to save £2 a litre on the hardest working machine on the farm ?

Yes, my Delaval pump has an Oil Recirculation System,ORS. The oil stays with in the system until it’s changed, mind you, it’s not your bog standard pump oil.

We've got the same as you, do you have trouble with the pipes getting blocked occasionally?

A while ago , yes. Changed the wire wool inside and ok now. We’ve a newer pump now that’s fully inside so hope we don’t have that trouble again.
