I can appreciate Pogo's stance. However, I gut them for all of the reasons listed above. I don't think they will ever be reused. If you are leaving it outside, the extra weight from not gutting them will help deter thieves. Besides, gutting a pump and taking the material to your recycler will get you some $$$. I just did three pumps and got $55.00. Not a lot, but put fuel in the tank for pump hunting.
