Will this pump work on a DIY alky kit?
Trying to build a DIY alky kit running either toluene or methanol. Will this shurflo pump be up to the task?

50/50 water to methy alcohol will be ok for the shurflo pump
that toluene/meoh/water sounds really workable........anyone has a suggestion on what kind of pump will pump this mixture?
fuel pump = not good for water
shurflo pump = not good for toluene.........
