Smile ?? wiper fluid pump safe for drinks??

If I were to use a wiper fluid pump, would it be safe to use with drinks? I am planning on making a drink dispenser, out of a new pump of course. If you have other ideas of how to make a dispenser let me know.

i dunno, prob. a mechanic at my old shop in vegas made a beer dispenser out of a fuel pump... had to seriously regulate it... needless to say the beer came out all head. so he switched to the washer pump, and it was fine. still a bit foamy, but still. i guess it depends on the kind of drinks you're planning on making

Are you too lazy to pour it yourself?

I don't see why it wouldn't work, but then again, I can't see why you would need it.

I dont need most things I have, but sometimes I use them, this is one of those things I might.

But anyways, the washer pump doesnt have any wierd filters, or chemicals that will be harmful?

Thanks for the quick replies, will be using it camping tommorow if it works

Im sure it would be fine just make sure to clean it out really good. You would probably have to clean very often depending on what drinks you plan on having

It's not about the effort. This would just be cool... really cool. I know the next junkyard part i'm picking up (Yes i'm going junkyard... its that true PNW flavor)
