Maybe you're thinking of another vehicle? You shouldn't be able to blow air through that pump in either direction, it's a roller pump meant for pumping low-viscosity fluids and maintaining system pressure while not operating. I've got a seized one I inherited kicking about. I'll open it up and see if it's not rusted too badly to show the construction. Yours, David |
