Totally agree with the above. Also you do not indicate your pressure requirements

Depending on the fluid one option is the metering pump used for pumping diesel to an Eberspacher or Webasto. 12v or 24v DC you need to supply the pulses. Not sure of the flow rate.

Cheers Richard, I found a few Webasto pumps on ebay; checking the Webasto service documents I managed to find on-line, the heaters use around 160ml/h, I can reduce the pulse rate to get what I need. Sorry for not supplying more information, it's to be used to dispense Flashlube (a valve lubricant) on my LPG fueled car so it's actually working into a negative pressure most of the time; the Webasto pump also acts as a fuel shutoff when it's not energised so it should be ideal because it will stop the lube siphoning when it's de-energised.
