True or false, drafting using the "cheat method" uses booster tank water in addition to the primer to fill the air space in the pump while the vacuum is being pulled.

The statement is true because the "cheat method" of drafting involves using water from the booster tank to facilitate the process of creating a vacuum within the pump. When this method is employed, the water from the booster tank is introduced into the pump in conjunction with using a primer. This helps fill the air space in the pump, ensuring that a proper vacuum is established more quickly and efficiently. This technique can be particularly useful in situations where the pure application of primer alone may not adequately clear the air from the pump, allowing for a smoother and more effective drafting operation.

Recognizing the role of booster tank water in the drafting process helps operators understand how to optimize the performance of their water pumps and ensures that they can respond effectively in various drafting circumstances.
