Since it is 3 years old, you need to send it back to SX for some updated o-rings and other minor change. If you run alky thru it as is, your seals will be leaking and fail within a few hours and the pump could short out internally.
I believe their new pumps come ready for alky, not sure on that.

the only way meth I have seen blow a motor is that meth attracts alot of watter and inturn you can hydrolock a motor, but other then that you can make way more hp sorry I just thought I would throw in my 2 cents in.
