Question Headlight Washers as alc./H20 injection

I was wondering if anyone had ever tried using the pump and resevoir that's for the headlight washers as the basis for an alcohol/water injection system. All I'm really wondering is if the pump would be adequate. It could be a real "sleeper mod" already having the switch and all. Just get a small mister nozzel and put it somewhere in the I/C piping tract.

Alcohol/water injection systems require high pressure and a finely atomised spray. Th e headlight washer pump would be totally inadequate. You need to use high quality nozzles too, not cheap garden sprayers.

Scott, you should still get better nozzles. You need a fine spray, not a solid squirt.

Just curious, do you have any pix if the headlight washer nozzles on the car? I've never seem them.
