Robb, The new 2002 Mercedez Bends 750 V12 has a very small stainless steel (no rust) return fuel pump on its fuel injector system that is ideal for water pump use for filling a boiler. It can operate with up to a 70 psi head and all it takes is a little 9V battery to make it run. The battery can run it for about 60 minutes continuously before it begins to slow down. That a lot of boiler fillings for a $1.50 battery cost. The pump requires two 4 mm screws to fasten it. It takes about 1 minute to fill a #268 boiler. It needs a 5 mm hose to connect it. This pump might be your solution.
