I was planning to dose carbon and bacteria with the DOS, but like you said they don't recommend to use the pump with methanol , apparently you shorting the lifespan of the pump doing that. Also if u use acrylic container they will crack .
So now I do my carbon dosing by hand

Default pump

don't think it's the pump that would possibly wear out...

it's the tubing and pressure fittings that are exposed to the methonal,,,

besides they are plastic and not acrylic..
