Yes. Or as mine is set up, I can use either pump as primary and usually try to alternate which one I use on a flight so as not to always use the same one. I also have a backup power source to run my pumps in case of main electrical buss failure. A single flip of the a switch on a little red emergency panel and my pumps are back on line. You can see them at: http://www.krnet.org/mvn2004/040929271.jpg I do a functional check of the backup system before every engine start. Larry Flesner
