Liquid fertiliser on a subsoiler drill

Thinking of putting fertiliser on at the same time as drilling OSR , have got the bare bones of an accord front hopper to put solid fert on , but was thinking of trying liquid AS .
How simple is it to make a diy kit with a front tank and a 12v ATV pump ? Is there an easy fix to connect to the tractor plug to get some kind of rate governing via a sprayer controller and a limit switch to stop start it ?
I'm sure there are off the shelf kits about but I want to keep a lid on costs before I can evaluate the results .
I don't mind a bit of a challenge making and mending if it saves a few quid in the long run because obviously I'm a tight fisted git .

Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated, or you might have some part of the puzzle for sale maybe ?

Cheers in advance .
