Finish Thompson's own shared warning across all 8 drum-pump series: when pumping flammables or combustibles, explosion-proof electric or air drive motors on stainless steel tubes with a static protection kit are required — skipping the static-protection kit on a flammable-solvent drum job is a real ignition risk, not a formality.
A drum pump job on a flammable solvent isn't just a material-compatibility question — Finish Thompson's own line-wide warning requires explosion-proof motors and a static protection kit specifically because bung-opening drum transfer generates the kind of static charge a sealed tank transfer doesn't.
