Gast 2567 Sucked up water

[DocsMapleSyrup]

I was doing some testing on a homemade releaser and had the vacuum plumbed directly into the releaser without a sap trap. Of course, when I opened up the vacuum, the flow of water into the releaser got pretty violent and some water got sucked up the intake and dripped into the muffler jar. It's a dry vane vacuum pump so I could use a little help with what to do at this point. I shut it off and walked away hoping for some guidance from you on the forum. Thanks for the help.

I don't know about Gast 2567, but that happened to me on a Surge Alamo dry vane pump when my homemade moisture trap froze and failed. I just opened one end cap, drained it, then reassembled it and it ran perfectly for several more years.
