My new book, the Gas Pump Bible" lists many of the sizes used on the pumps. It is far from complete, but it is a good start. Tim Rohr originally started listing the sizes each pump took, and with his permission I put it in my new book.

Book is shown at: www.gaspumpbible.com

Recently my book showed up on Ebay being sold by someone from China. The Ebay post was exactly like my post, same title, same pictures. same everything except the book was coming from China. We contacted Ebay, it took a few days , but Ebay removed the post.

I am the only one who is selling the new Gas Pump Bible book. I refinanced my house to come up with the money to published the book, any one else trying to sell the book has either gotten a copy of my book and completely copied it, but I don't think anyone would go this far, because of the large cost of printing the book, I believe this thing from China is nothing but a scam. If the person from China had a copy of my book why would they use the same pictures as the ones that I used in my Ebay post? Why would they use the same pictures that I had in my Ebay post?

Again, I am the only one selling the new Gas Pump Bible, I have never sent a copy to China. Be where.

Yeah that's unbelievable Jack... seen all sort of things getting duplicated from China... and yes a lot of it is just fraudulent listing too.

It would be hard to beat the prices and quality of clear glass sold by Greatglas.

I just ordered a 12x26 for a Fry Speedway at $440.00, plus shipping, from GreatGlas in Wilmington, Deleware. Both companies are good people to deal with, as I have used them both for cylinders. Greatglas is closer to me and shipping is a bit less. They are online. Paul www.severngaspumps.com
