Long time lurker, first time poster...Looking to get some ideas and thoughts on the size curb or island I wound need to mount two pumps side by side in front of my garage. I haven't purchased the pumps yet, but I'm looking for both a Texeco fire chief and sky chief, maybe even a diesel pump. Sorry if I sound like a newbie, just trying to add these great pieces of Americana to my shop.

Welcome to Oldgas!

I can't give you exact specs on the island size but I can show you a photo of mine with Texaco pumps on it. I also have a can rack between the pumps. I think that mine is about eight feet wide and around three feet deep.



Hope that helps. I'm sure others will know the specs.

Welcome Mycyclone. Here is a pic of my island. It measures 12' x 2' and 4" thick. As long as you are pouring one, you might as well make it right the first time. You may THINK you will have only two pumps, but this hobby is addictive. Leave room for one more. Or a nice oil rack/cabinet would look good between your pumps as Poorman shows.

Thanks for the welcome guy's!!! Those pictures are great guy's, really gets the mind thinking. Poor man, it looks like you have lip that goes around the edge of you island, is that ture or are my eye's playing a trick on me? Also, are the post setting on the concrete or were they poored in place. You have done what I had in mine with the over hang and everything. If you could get some measurements I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again guy's

Hey mycyclone WELCOME If you are looking for the real deal contact a service station equipment supplier they have the pump island forms.Bradford oil is on this site or maybe tokhein or David Hidgon can help.

I've used the station forms and they work GREAT. The end pieces come in different
diameters, check them out.
