Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion Started restoring this today! Wayne 505

OK, I bought this a few years ago for $50.00. It was at a local private airport and used as a fuel station for a guy with a raised ground tank for his private airplane.

In any case I bought the pump, then bought the add glass panels.

Any suggestions on the restoration or the best place to get some parts for this particular pump if needed or anything you fellas see that smissing?

Its going to be blue and white a DODGE or Plymouth pump to be sure.
Does any have pics of this type of pump or have you restored one?

I added a Display case to mine, I had it all done than thought it was kinda Plain so I cut a hole in the front door and had the local glass shop install the glass in it. I think it looks pretty good now.

Left mine almost original...it gets more attention than any other pump I have.


Open the pump door and the fridge door opens with it.

Nice upgrade.

I think it's funny how just about every time I show my gas pump to a friend they tell me I should fit it for a keg and that it would be so cool if the nozzle would dispense the beer haha. This would be interesting, but not sure how feasible.

YES, BUT ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT THE LIGHT GOES OUT WHEN YOU CLOSE THE GAS PUMP DOOR?

Thats great, what size is the frige and how did you make the pump door a hinged door. Mine is bolted on all sides. did you make a hinge or was it that way originally?

Dave

I can dig up the bill for the unit if someone is interested in the model, it was the perfect width and a good height but was about a half inch too deep so I left the rear door off, had to cut the brackets off some below the computer shelf and a couple other tabs half way down. Cut the flange lip off the top of the pump door, put piano hinge on the side and cut out the holes on the bottom of the door where it sat on pins...hope that made sense.

Here is a 505 duo I did for a friend a few years ago.

Nice Duo!

I like these pumps. Nice pictures.
