Should work. The Coventry Climax racing engine that was popular many
years
ago was based on a fire-hose pump - doing things the other way round.

Ah, maybe a misconception there. The original Coventry Climax pump engines
(850 cc?) were just ordinary engines that *drove* fire pumps. I don't
believe they ever were pumps.

You are right, of course. Silly of me.
