They may not want even their name on a gas pump, air meter, etc. Imagine if you owned the name, you might see it differently?
I do understand that it is their right. I just don't get why they use the double standard about putting them on cars/trucks is OK? I have not done a Harley or John Deere pump since. I have painted things yellow and green, for customers. I keep expecting them to license the paint! LOL! Paul www.severngaspumps.com
