Altek spray pump question,

[Sprayer 1]

I have had a diaphram split on a altek p260 pump tonight. not a problem as I have a spare set, but when I opened the pump up the diaphram was yellow/white and my spares are black and although appear to be the same size, they feel thinner and softer but they were bought for a p260 although it was on a previous sprayer, Should I fit them or buy new? as with most things farming related , time is short.

Househam Air ride, this is my 7th air ride and I think the last 4 have had the altek pump on and never had a problem, but do always change the diaphrams every winter.

On our comet pump I was told the clear/white diaphragms are suitable for liquid fert, the black ones aren't.

I phoned Altek and they said black or white are fine, same size just slightly different material.

Do you offhand what oil is supposed to be in a altek pump. The cap on pump is confusing to a non German.

Even without resorting to Google Translate. This is pretty simple:
Motor Oil, SAE 40
or
Gearbox Oil, SAE 90
