backward vacuum pump

Post by Heath »

How about using a vacuum pump on the back of an alternator and put the hose on the other side of the pump so it pumped not sucked (sorry late night). Would provide small pressue boost.

I was thinking about this for the alternator and winch motor to keep them clear of mud and water. Dont know if it will work but just kicking the idea around.

$10 air bed pump from k-mart. High volume low pressure. perfect and you're not messing with a very expensive piece of equipment to get your pressure :)

a lot of 1980`s jap imports run a small belt driven pressure pump for the emmisions systems i think its low press / high volume.. could be worth a try
