Helical Gear Oil Pump, 20/25 & Bentley. We are running into a certain amount of trouble with Helical Gear Oil Pumps which were recently standardised. The difficulty is that they will not prime readily. We do not think it will be difficult to overcome this fault, but would suggest that they are not brought on production until a solution has been found.
