Title: A pump assembly
Inventor: PAUL BUCKLEY
IPC: F04C2/18
Filed: 2020-03-04
Abstract: A gear pump for an internal combustion engine fluid delivery system, the pump comprising a first gear 20 formed of two separate gear portions 50, 52 arranged to be rotatable with respect to each other, wherein a biasing element 54 is arranged to bias the second gear portion in a direction that opposes the direction of rotation of the first gear portion.
