Spent Sunday rummaging around ACE Auto Wrecking or whatever
back lot and found a little gem.  Seems that many GM and others
use a small medium pressure 12 VDC air compressor for their seats.
Heavy duty, gotta make a hundred grand, but not large or heavy

My RV uses a air pressurized water system.  You fill the tanks, turn the
pump on and water flows because of air pressure at the tank. Very 
smooth, no pulsating pounding etc.

Now suppose you get a small tank that can hold pressure.  Fill it with 
desired fluid, leaving small air space, then run up the pressure using 
a seat pump.  Regulated tank pressure by on /off switch, regulate 
line using liquid pressure regulator.  On/off valve.  Now you have smooth
continuos flow of liquid without it destroying pump or piss dribbling
because
no convenient pump available. My water pressure regulated to about 35
lbs., just close to perfect .

Chili Powered Rocket Exhaust For-ever!!!
