Default Water Injection pump broke with toluene - industrial chemist?

Hey all,

Anyone using Aquamist kit with toluene and have problems with pump seals? I've just had mine replaced and Aquamist say seals bad due to reaction with chemical...

Any industrial chemists out there in scooby world that can advise if its better to use methanol in 50/50 mix for water injection (for seals) than toluene. Does same go for fuel pump seals at 10-20% in fuel tank mix of toluene compared to meth? Which is more corrosive to seals?
