Waters 501 pump solvent compatibility?

I have an old "Waters 501 HPLC Pump" - I wanted to know what solvents this system is compatible with? I don't want to use it for LC, I want to use it as a pump for some organic chemistry flow reactions. Any ideas or a good website/reference?

I assume it can be used for normal phase, so organic solvents should be ok, but I really wanted to know about toluene.

Thanks

I would recommend to contact Waters to purchase pump head sealings for Toluene.
Otherwise you will notice leakage.
Good luck.
