More likely, IMO, the pump will be attacked by some solvents and fail early.

That's what happened to the cheapo parts washer I got from Enco some years
ago, the pump only lasted about 6 months of very intermittent use.  When I
pulled it apart, the seal had turned to goo and the plastic impellor was
eroded.
