    It is not advisable to ever pump without a filter with a positive displacement pump unless one wants to buy a new pump.  One small particle will ruin the gear pump or lock it up. 

     

    Now with fryer filtration, the normal problem is a air leak on the suction line.  Usually a O ring, but sometimes a crack in the line or a fitting,  or a carbon blockage in the suction tube.  I have also seen socket wear from insertion of the tube.  Close visual inspection of the suction line is needed.
