I'm not saying you can not do it ..... I'm saying saying it needs more research.... I would want assurances from pumps manufacturer that it was "oxygen" safe....

Assumption on the surface of what they are saying can be dangerous.... Yes oxygen by its self is not really explosive except when introduced to oils (or other fuels) ..... Then the classification changes..... There is a difference between a $80 used vacuum/pressure pump and a $5000 (RIX) microboost compressor.... There might be a better choice (brand-model) than the one you are looking at, I think it needs more research........
