So now that the cooler weather has arrived I have put my fire pump away until next year, but because it runs pumping salty water from the river, it has a lot of salt build up in the pump body, I ran it today for 30 minutes just circulating fresh water in a big bucket which I put some soluble cutting oil in and there was heaps of crud in the bottom of the bucket when I had finished. So my question is: given that the pump body is alloy, should I store it empty and open? Or fill it up with something like diesel or vinegar or something to keep the air out? Any advice or knowledge of chemistry appreciated. Stay safe everyone 👍
