    Yep...to cut a long story short ...you will need one with Viton
    o-rings/washers etc in it. They are designed to handle pesticides which have
    some very nasty (o-ring swelling ability) carrying agents in 'em.

    Ask at any farm/chem supply shop. I worked in one for 10 years & thats what
    we sold people/farmers/councils & it worked. Viton are almost always red.

    The good quality ones do have viton but not the cheapys.Spraying
    systems...Nufarm & Silvan are 3 from memory. They all used to make something
    with chem resistant gear in 'em. I did a search on these companys for you
    but none had a smallish unit (they used to). Things change so i assume im
    out of touch with whom now makes a good quality one. You really need to go
    to a farm chemical supplier & explain you want one with Viton gear in it.

    But dont think you will pick one up for 10 bucks.

    That said it will last a bloody long time & double up for any other spraying
    purpose. Pesticide carrying agents can swell a normal o-ring overnight but
    viton can sit in it for ever almost. Theses agents are tougher on
    synthetics/rubber than petrochemicals.

    Hope that helps.

    Bavaian food isn't takeawayable (unless you drive up in a fair-sized van and a
    forklift, or a light truck with loader crane); you sit down and have it brought
    over by a waitress of Wagnerian proportions.

    But do sneak out one of their beer steins afterwards; those are exquisitely
    suited to holding kero and chain brushes, and don't get eaten away in a
    lifetime.
