Thanks for the advice, I am grateful that the old pump is such a simple and durable machine. I actually felt bad when it stopped working after putting so much time into restoring the pump and meter mechanism and getting it working. Every time I have to put fuel in I look forward to it as the sound of the pump and the dinging at every gallon is something I vaguely remember as a kid. As soon as I can get a decent video camera I intend to post online how it works. The nozzle is hidden in the front yard and the pump is in the backyard but I can still hear the dings. While there was concern how palm oil would affect the pump, so far it seems to run and pump very smoothly.
