Are there any fumes leaking from the old seals? I saw Elvis once at an Exxon station.

OK my wife didn't fall for it either! You can't blame a guy for trying, can you?
I know many of you have had this same conversation with yourselves...
Quote:
self you need to stop buying every pump you come across and finish the ones you already have
After the conversation I agreed with myself and decided that would be a wise idea. Then a email came in that said....
Quote:
I have a pump like the ones in your pictures give me a call
shocked Do I dare? confused After all I did just promise myself no more pumps for awhile. Oh what the hell I'll just call him out of courtesy. wink
Quote:
Hi there I'm calling about the pump you have. What can you tell me about it?
Quote:
it's been locked up in a equipment shed for the past forty years. It says Richfield, I think that is the kind of pump it is.
Oh my that sound too good to be true! shocked I'll bet it's a Richfield branded Bennett. Good thing I just bought one of those so I don't buy this one! I'll go take a look anyway just for kicks. Heck if it's a clean find maybe I'll just send someone else his way. smile
And the rest is history! Once he opened the door to the shed and I seen that perfectly preserved pump sitting in the corner my promise was broken grin The pictures are after a simple wash with the hose to clean off all the dust and cob webs. No rust, not a single chip in the computer faces....THIS THING IS CLEAN!
