Hello, I am back. I need help to identify the types of pumps that appear in this photo. The station was a Sinclair circa 1971. I know it is not a great photo but you guys have identified other pumps from worst photos. Any help appreciated. After looking through Jack's book, I have narrowed it down to Wayne 400, Bennett 2000 series, Erie 483 and Tokheim 459. This is my last request for pump identification unless I find some other photos. Thanks in advance. Utahbob WJ Curator

Ignoring your 1971 date, I vote for Tokheim 448's

That was my first thought too Dick. There were a couple of the 448 interceptors at an old station in my town and at a glance they sure look the same.

I would sure love to get in the time machine and go to West Jordan as there were quite a few cool stations!
Good job to you Mr. Utahbob, as curator preserving the past for the future!

Thanks guys, your input is important to me. Unless someone else says its different it Tokheim 448 WJ Curator. This project would be a lot easier if I could go back in time.
BTW great little town you live in.
