Unhappy Meth pump failing

I have noticed my AFR going to the high 12's about every time I get into boost. How long do the pumps last running straight meth? They told me at snow it's not rated for 100% meth. Is 2MOS as long as they last @100%.

I run straight meth, have daily for 2 years but I use the Alky pump. Meth is very corrosive to certain materials like aluminum and such.

My alky control pump failed after a little over a year. Never lost my AFR. Just leaked while sitting around.

Assuming the question was to me. No they didn't offer to swap the pump. Send it back kind of thing and would try and repair it. Claiming pump failures were rare and probably due to contaminated fuels running through it. The seals just failed. Pump side and pressure switch. I just bought a new one.

My original Alkycontrol pump failed too after about 2 years. I bought the upgraded one, which I understood to be 100% meth compatible. Did you guys understand that the same way, or am I making things up?

alky is NOT fuel compatable, that is what kills the pumps....
