Scavenger pump

Scavenger pump

A pump in a dry sump lubrication system that picks up the oil after it passes through the engine and returns it to the oil tank. Scavenger pumps have a larger capacity than pressure pumps, because the oil being returned is hot and contains air. Both conditions increase its volume.
