Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An oil pump system is provided having a mechanism configured to receive oil, pressurize the oil, and output the pressurized oil. The oil pump system also includes an oil pump body configured to house the mechanism. A vent is defined by the body to purge air from the pump. Also, a device is arranged relative to the vent, and configured to close the vent when the pump body is subjected to g-forces up to a predetermined threshold magnitude. The device is additionally configured to open the vent when the pump body is subjected to g-forces exceeding the predetermined threshold magnitude, wherein air otherwise received by the pump mechanism with the oil, captured within the mechanism, and outputted with the pressurized oil is purged.
