    Pump Replacement

    We had a couple of the Cat 5CP pumps and they didn't last as long as the Cat 310 pumps. We had have very few problems with the Cat 310 pumps. I'd like to know what makes the Cat 310 pump so difficult to work on?

    Best thread sealant?

    We use Gasoila tread sealant with PTFE. The fittings don’t rust as bad if we didn’t use it. Stainless steel fittings are crazy expensive now. But on the other hand the stainless steel fittings will last forever.
