Recent Rebuild, Series II with an over-active Metering Oil Pump (OMP)

I recently had my engine rebuilt and noticed my OMP was injecting about twice as much oil as I expect. Instead of 1/2 a Qt. or so every 2 tanks (500+ miles), it's more like 1/2 QT in one tank or 250+ miles. I thought maybe the Series II OMP had a "learning function" and would moderate it's oil usage, but that has not happened after 700 miles since rebuild.

Is it possible that the OMP is using "high usage" mode at low RMPs or is stuck on this mode? It is not generating any CEL codes. My rebuilder is unfamiliar with the Series II OMPs and is not sure what the problem is.

I have checked the air filter and no oil is appearing on it. It is also not ending up on the ground.

TIL in 2010, Cathay Pacific Flight 780 nearly crashed due to saltwater in the underground fuel tanks causing a pump truck filter to break down, releasing superabsorbent polymer into the A330's fuel system. The fuel metering unit then seized up mid flight and 322 people almost died. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat…

Ford fe 390 marine engine rebuild question. Originally it had a thermostat installed. Was using vacuum from exshaust pasting the water exit port to cool. No water pump. I’m installing a electric water pump with a metering impeller. I think I should omit the thermostat. What do you guys think?

How do you choose the metering pumps? With so many choices and all meeting the specs, how to choose the right pump? What is important? All the pumps say they can feed the amount I want at the pressure I need to. How to differentiate which ones are the ones that will be a good fit for me?

Chemical Metering Pump Leak Detection Shutoff

The customer wants to prevent a metering pump from pumping acid (H2SO4) through a broken line. The acid is used for pH adjustment. The pump and associated plumbing have no way to detect a leak.

The customer proposed shutting down the pumps and triggering an alarm if the pH hasn't changed in a certain period of time.

I am in search of a better way to solve this problem. I think there are too many variables with the customer's proposed solution.

Any takers? I have been racking my brain on this one.
