It creates a pressure differential which causes the fluid to flow.

tap your IC pump slightly with a hammer, i mean very slightly lol sometimes they can get stuck, IMO if its starting to fail just buy a new one... peace at mind.

From what I understand Option B tank is an overflow and wont have much flow through it. Check in the stock fillerneck for water flow. I do not have Option B so I could be mistaken though.

if you reverse the polarity yes it will flow backwards its just a electric motor

Well kind of, that pump is really only design to flow one way and wouldnt do too good of a job flowing backwards.

The motor will operate backwards, or depending on the way its constructed (Some Motors will run the same direction reguardless of electrical current direction)

However, the style of pump (Centrifigal impeller) I seriously doubt it would flow much if any water in the oppsite direction if you ran it backwards.
