I have tried to picture your pump and I don't understand 2 of everything
unless it is a double pump. I have several vacuum pumps, none like you. I
use traps on the input of all filter pumps to protect my pumps. I use felt
filters on my exhaust to stop oil spray. On some pumps that dont have oil in
the crank case I have an oil drip system to lubricate the input of the pump,
but no double gauges.
