Electric primers
« on: October 14, 2005, 02:51:14 PM »
Just quickly, does anyone know what type of pumps are used in electric primers? I was trying to remember the types of pumps, and can't remember which type can be used for both air and water... (Power driven pumps that is ;))

a hah!!!

the electric pumps for priming are the rotary vane pumps...

diaphragm pumps are hand pumped, and i dont think we would really use and ejector pump as it doesnt seem sutied to the kind of need we would have for a priming pump.
