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?

toluene = NO!
100% methanol = it really depends as there are several grades of viton......best bet is call shurflo and get it from the horses mouth

Thinking of 50% water to 50% toluene/methanol actually. To be controlled by my Autronic.

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.........
