Greetings and WELCOME to the site, stephen horne!
I moved your question out of Introductions to this forum topic area so that it will be more likely to be noticed and addressed by those who are best able to answer it. Your question will get noticed much more here.
Introductions is for people to introduce themselves only, and we try to not ask questions there. We would appreciate it if you would return to Introductions sometime to tell us a little bit about yourself, if you would be willing to do that.
Thanks!

Hi,
Generally fill the body of the pump with water.
Does not always apply to pumps trying to displace water over a height differential, but the rule is "keep it wet - liquids displace each other and cannot be compressed.)
Peace,
