I am a newbie to gas pump restorations and I need some help with the pump I have. It is marked model 300xp it has the reset handle on the same side as the nozzle and hose. There is no sight glass but there is an aluminum plate that covers the sight glass manifold halfway down on the same side as the nozzle. The veeder root is a three wheel and the number on it is prefaced with a 56. I am missing the face plates and I need to know which ones I need and if anyone has them other wise the pump is very complete.Thanks

Post pics of the pump please

First I would advise you to have information on pumps before you go out buying one. As for pictures, all 300s look alike.

I believe you have one-half of a Tokheim 300 Twin. I cannot find anything to tell me what the "X" means, but if you had a copy of my Gas Pump ID book you would notice the P means that the door or doors have ad glass panels.

Sight glasses were governed by the laws of the city, county, state you were in. Some of the above required them, but then in the 50's they started to dissappear. If they broke, the repairman would simply put a pice of sheet metal over the opening and shut if off.

Faces were all the same, you should have no problem finding a pair, the computer is probably the correct one. Just get Joe to rebuild it for you.

If you are looking for information about your pump just go to Ebay, type in 'GAS PUMP LITERATURE A88"
