I have been rebuilding internal components for gasoline pumps since 1981.
Along w/ all the lead (ETHYL) I absorbed, gas pumps are in my blood!!!
I still know how to rebuild Erie meters, Bowser Meters, Gilbarco meters, Southwest meters,
Tokheim meters, Wayne meters, Bennett meters,....all types,,, and all their pumping units. Most that date back to 1940
I never rebuilt a NATIONAL meter....there was never a call.
A few years ago I rebuilt some Wayne METERS and some computers that went into Commercial service in a couple of Wayne 60's in Alaska.
Picture below is one of them.
There are 8+ different styles of Wayne meters.. two four piston meters and five 2 piston meters,
then there is the new ones I have never worked on, they are electronically calibrated
This is a 4 piston Wayne meter....NEW STYLE from a Wayne 60.... NEW die cut gaskets,,, buuuuuddy
One below is a WAYNE 2pm-5 but the 4,5,6 are similar....6 is electronic and has different gears on top
there is a 2pm-2 and a 2pm-3 meter also.
This is the top off the Volumeter , meter, from the 950-A.
It is about the size of a plate.
I was BORN a pump mechanic!!!!
It's not just an obsession , It's my destiny
Who else would come up w/ a working replacement clock mechanism that they barely make any $ from,
'ceptin' a dumb 'ol pump mechanic.
I will be working on pump guts till I die... I hope.
I can identify a computer pump by the internal components
better than I can by looking at the skins.
I can look at the couplings on a computer and tell you what kind of pump it came from
most of the time.....yeah, I got it bad, but not the collecting part, I only HAVE 2 KEEPER pumps now,
but I do LOVE pumps!!!!
Like I said it would be MY dream job.
I started collecting some of this junk not knowing there were other folks doing it too,
I just thought it was cool.
I can't remember a lot of things but there is a B*ttload of accessable information about
rebuilding internal components stored in my noggin.
I am a straight up pump junkie, G !!!!!no sense in denying it
