A little nugget of pt6 goodness.

So, I was lookin at some of my notes from my old ground school and I noticed something interesting that the instructor had said in passing and I had written down but totally forgot. On thept6 the low pressure fuel pump is on the same shaft as the oil scavenge pump, so if u lose a low pressure pump, be advised because the problem could be worse, u could have lost the oil pump, and low press pump could be the only initial indication. U lose that oil pump and its bye bye humming noise after all the oil runs out, or doesn't get to the right spot. Just a little nugget I found.
