Aux vacuum pumps are also used in some GM cars (gas & diesel)
to make up for low engine vacuum,
We have been using them to provide vacuum for power brakes in the
event we have a engine shutdown in our motorhomes..
(and it works great, saves on dirty shorts if you lose engine vacuum)
Not sure if the volume would be right but they do pull a good
vacuum..
Cars that used them..
