Not sure what metals these things are made of, but there are solid
state fuel pumps available that hold up pretty much to all solvents.
I'm not sure if the CuCl or ferric chloride would eat them or not.

JCWhitney sells some:
They're probably a plated steel or maybe a diecast.

Not sure I'd want to spend 30 - $40 to melt one down but maybe someone
else has already tried one and knows the results.
