No.

But you can search for one, there's at least two, one is more recent, by spudblaster15, the other one is older, by BrianTheBrain.
Have fun searching.

I guess if you use 2 check valves, and you make it so the main barrel of the pump is much larger than the actual input, so the input to the transfer tube is like smaller than a penny, you might be able to get the pressure pretty high without much effort. How would you make it air tight to such pressures tho? a buttload of o-rings? a union piece of pvc?
