I've been offered a pump if I'll disconnect it and take it away.
It's a Canadian Gilbarco 1006, 2 sided pump in not bad shape, straight, bit rusty, couple of small rust holes in the skin on one side near the bottom. Unbranded, Painted green, plexi panels say "Regular." No globe, but there is a knockout for one.
This pump is not in service - hasn't been for many years - but is still connected to the underground tank and electricity.
Any advice on what is involved in safely removing this pump? I have no problem with the electricity - it is connected to a modern breaker panel that can be locked out.
But - how do I safely remove it and cap the suction pipe? I have not been able to look inside yet, and have no idea what's in there.
Plus - even though I have been offered the pump gratis, what's it worth? I don't want the man to think I've ripped him off. I don't have any book for reference (yet...).
Never done a pump. Should be fun...
Thanks in advance.
