Default Quick question on material compatibility with methanol

I'm currently getting my kit together piece by piece, but along the way I have been doing as much research as I can on what is compatible with methanol and what isn't.

For example, for the Shurflo pump, I went with the EPDM/Santoprene, instead of the Viton.

But, now my question is about the fitting to the pump. It looks like certains brasses, bronzes, and SS's are compatible with methanol. But what are you guys using.

Also, for the hoses, it looks like the best are PTFEs (Teflon) and PVDF (Kynar), along with polyehthylene.

What materials are you guys using? I am planning on a 50/50 mix.

Thanks,
Eric
