	Need to confirm if we can use a pressurizing pump as a scavenge pump ? My idea is that if we can alter its drive in a way that it revolves in opposite direction, then we can . Is this possible?

	Centrifugal pump will not reverse fow if rotation reverses. Positive displacement pumps can. __________________ bioramani

	Right you are. Anyone familiar with pumps would have got the import of your message. It was not clear from the OP if he/she would get the significance of your post. Hence the elaboration. __________________ bioramani
