1. A fluid booster system for an engine, comprising:
a fluid accumulator, the fluid accumulator having a hollow main body extending between a first end and a second end, a fluid port, and a gas port, wherein the fluid port is fluidically coupled to the engine to deliver accumulated fluid from the fluid booster system to the engine;
a gas source, wherein the gas source is fluidically coupled to the fluid accumulator to deliver pressurized gas to the fluid accumulator through the gas port;
a moveable sealing barrier residing within the hollow main body of the fluid accumulator, wherein the sealing barrier acts as a seal between accumulated fluid and gas within the fluid accumulator;
a control system configured to control the flow of gas to the fluid accumulator;
whereby the flow of gas into the fluid accumulator forces the sealing barrier to move within the fluid accumulator to discharge accumulated fluid through the fluid port and deliver accumulated fluid from the fluid booster system to the engine.
