SVO 12v pump?

I know it says no fuel but does anyone think this pump would fail if simply pumping some clean SVO?

It seems harmless to me. Maybe it would ruin seals over time? Unconverted svo isn't much of a solvent to me. If anything it's more like a lubricant. Maybe I'm way off and underestimating svo?
Looks cheap though. I'm still using a "clear water" pump for svo and I'm pretty sure it's also not recommended for fuel either.

I have used it, works ok. Seems like it fills my 5 gallon buckets in about 2 minutes or so.
As far as self priming mine would not, I had to prime it first.
The other drawback is that it has to be pretty close to the source.
But for the price it is great.

I have been using an almost identical pump for a year and a half now... thousands of gallons pumped through it with no problems. You may find after a while that it's nicer to have a 120V version - it doesn't get as hot with prolonged pumping (like a 55 gallon drum) and they run a bit quieter.

Veggie oil is a combustible... (not quite the same as flammable)

Flammable: having a flashpoint below 100°F

Combustible: A material having a flashpoint higher than 100°F
