Hello, I am restoring my first gas pump and looking for a fluid I can run through the pump to make it look like it's pumping gas. I searched topics here without seeing anything. I saw a YouTube video where the guy uses Prestone RV antifreeze. It looks like real gasoline. Not sure what that would do to the gaskets or silicone I may use for the spinner globe. Maybe a watered down mixture of RV fluid or yellow food coloring added to the water? Any ideas? I cleaned up the aluminum inside the spinner globe. What color should the metal be that holds the spinner? Silver? I don't want a chemical in there that would remove paint.
So far I have bought a sump pump and bucket, check valve, heater hose, brass barbed fittings. Going to sweat on the 3/4" female copper fitting in a bit. I was able to just slip the heater hose over the 3/4" copper discharge line and use a hose clamp.
