Default Fuel pump as a RO booster pump

I have noticed relatively cheap fuel pumps on eBay...
So recently new BOSCH pump for $50 which can deliver 80PSI.
I was thinking if such pump could be used for boosting
tap water pressure before RO/DI filter...

My tap water pressure is only 40PSI but the filter
likes it to be 60-80PSI and the filter eficiency goes
down very much, especially in winter, when water is cold.

Anybody knows how does this pump work ?
Wouid it be sufficient ? Too strong ? Too weak ?
