Is that a Canadian thing?
Got a new water pump. Belt driven with an oil filled bearing housing for the impeller shaft. The spec is for the bearings to run in VS46 hydraulic fluid. There is an additional shipping tag that says that seal quench fluid must be used before starting the pump.
The bearing housing for impeller shaft would have a seal at both ends of it - pulley end, and the pump end. And a 3rd seal in the actual pump housing.
I suppose seal quench fluid is the oil for the bearings. But why the weird terminology?
For the record, the pump did ship from our northern neighbor.
