Ken,

Thanks!

I understood what I meant and you understood what I meant but your way of
explaining it is way more betterer than mine! ;-)

Weelll, yea, you've got it right, but I think of it a little differently:

1. The running engine sucks air out of the reservoir through the check
valve in its end, which keeps the air out.

2. When turned ON, the boost pump also sucks air out of the reservoir
through another check valve.
(Gary's prompt to look at the photos reminded me that's a weird check valve:
2-way of which I use only one.)

3. Vacuum in the reservoir sucks air out of the booster through its OEM
check valve, and straight out of the tiny HVAC softball.
