Has anybody restored a pump in Texaco Diesel? Is green the only color they had them in originally (c.1940s & 50s)? Thanks,Brian

...Texaco Diesel Chief pumps were green at one point - I've got a photo of a cardboard poster that pictures one, somewhere...

I'm sorry I thought we were talking about pump plates. I believe I've seen them in white, green and red where they may have used an old Fire Chief pump, or same paint ?

In my experience -diesel when available at a retail level
ie at a s/s with f/c and s/c pumps the diesel was always
identified with a green color

Other installations such as farms etc one could find a
diesel pump in another color such as red

Generally diesel was identified by the green color
