new source for pump

That pump will only flow enough to meet my needs at 0 psi dude i would keep looking
there should be better stuff out there. At the pressure most WI systems are designed to run it would only flow about 200cc/min wich is notvery much watter and i would want alot more headroom for anything i ran idk maybe it is just me.

Let's back up for a second, here.
I honestly thought this was a joke when it was first posted. I'm still considering it to be in the troll category, rather than a serious solution.
Forget for a moment about flow rate and pressure, we're talking about having to build or install an inverter into the cars electrical system and run 120VAC wiring through the vehicle. Who here thinks this is a better / safer / more reliable solution than a simple 12Vdc ShurFlo pump? I mean, what are the supposed advantages of the expensive coffee maker pump?

A lot of the sizing of these types of things are driven by the laws of physics. A reasonably priced (non-NASA space probe component costs) 12VDC, water/meth compatible pump that performs reliably like the shureflo pump... is going to be about the same size as a shureflo pump.
Higher voltage more or less means a smaller motor, but as said already, you need an inverter, which means more mass/volume/complexity.
