I just got this pump today. What is the sign for? On the other side of the sign it has 100
Thanks
I would say octane rating.
Here's another one like it.
I'm sure Octane rating !!! Notice a newer pump a lower rating !!
Probably came from airport 80/87 and 100/130 are grades of avgas
Great Pump and I'll go with avgas also
Thanks for the help that explains why the other side of the sign only has 100 so they must flip the sign when it is only 100 avgas. He did say he got the pump from a airport.
Well I am thinking about it would you restore it or leave as is? I know it is my pump but if you had it what would you do the only reason I ask is it was green originally.
Clean and let it be. Looks good to me.
...um, have you looked to see if it's green porcelain underneath the red paint?...even if it isn't, I'd remove the pump signs...they're not particularly interesting, and not original to the pump...
Yes I have it is not porcelain. you wood remove the stickers also or just the avgas sign on one side?
Very nice National Scott. Looks excellent. Yes, I would remove that 100/130 sign also.
So I pulled the sign off and cleaned and wired up the lights. I am now thinking about putting a globe top on it and putting on a flying a globe what do you think?
Also how do I tell if I have the right top that takes the globe holder? I think there is two tops but not sure thanks for the help.
If it doesn’t already have a globe holder then it’s not a globe top. Chris
shure looks like green porcelain underneath to me
Thanks for the help. The top has a square about 4inch long that comes off thought that might be where the globe hold went?
It is not porcelain for sure I can scratch it off. Thanks again
Never seen one with a hole & not have a globe ring on it... maybe someone removed the ring & covered the hole, then u would just need a ring? Chris
I have seen a couple picture with other having the same thing on the top. it looks like me it was a plate to block it but not real sure. might top is polished and the peace is not. If I could get my pictures to work I would post one but its not working for some reason lol
If it's porcelain, here it is.
Nice pump. Mine is for sure not porcelain. I see why everybody thinks it is the color even looks right nut it is not for sure. Thanks for posting the picture. The is the same top peace mine has is that to cover up the option of a globe top? If not why is it there? Thanks Scott
The piece on top is where a pricer is clamped on. You can cut a hole in your top for a globe holder. Buy your holder first then set it on top and mark where it needs to be cut. You can also offer to trade your uncut top for a cut top. I did that because I hated to cut a good uncut top.
Thanks matt for the help and picture. Now seeing that I want to put that on instead. Now to find one lol
