I have bought 2 of these. One to pump BD and the other to meter methanol into processor.
Supprising quality from China.

i read it was for diesel, not to sure if it would be safe with methanol, glad to be corrected
cheers stuart
Not sure that would be a good idea.
This pump looks good for bio and oil but being its not designed to use witha high volatility fuel I would not use it for such a job.
It is sometimes better to pay for the right tool to do the job.
Somebody prove me wrong here by all means because I too looked at this pump but only for Bio.
Methanol pumps would and should have greater spark protection than this little chinese number.

2015 NP300 Navara
Stainless processor with blue water pump.
I think the whole Methanol flashing into a fireball is highly overrated. As long as sensible precautions are taken - do it outside, not in an enclosed area (i certainly hope no one here is storing a 44 of methanol in their garden shed !!), do not place the pump on top of the drum etc then i would like someone to point me to a factual account of methanol flashing off ?
I can understand idiots turning on elements etc with nothing in the processor and things catching fire, but decanting methanol and the fumes flashing off - i am not so sure.
On another forum some idiot suggested not using a gear pump to move methanol as the gears could overheat and setup a "China Syndrome" reaction.
But thanks for the word of caution Michael.
