Now you've got me interested. I was concerned about the failure mode, but
having 2 of them. Hmmmm. What does the stock (3rd gen) pump weigh? What has
to be fabricated to hook them up?
What do they cost?

A nice extra would be a remote controlled valve so I can squirt PL when he
looks into the cowl. :)

Maybe the pump itself will act as a check valve.
