Redrock tanker pump oil dripper filling up.

[hubbahubba]

Can anyone advice me? When working the pump on my new tanker both my oil droppers seem to fill with oil from time to time. One load dripping properly, next load there filling up and if i turn them rite down it doesnt take the oil out them. Althoigh if i put my hand over exhaust it it putting a dampness of oil though it. Thanks.

Also i am using the redrock vacum pump olk it came with.

Unscrew the drain plug on the oil tank & see if any water comes out. I’ve had similar happen & found that to be the problem. No idea how it gets in there. I assume it’s condensation.

Thanks, i will look at that. I took the wee pipes of that take oil into pump, it was extremely hard to blow them out, as if the oil is a little thick or maybe frozen.

If oiler window fills up it usually means that there is a blockage between the oiler and the main pump body and there is no vacuum in the oiler. Can be caused by blocked pipe or too thick oil.

Probably oil thick with current temperatures. Try somethin abit thinner
