Looking for a suction pump in the Florida area to use for homemade bio-diesel. A friend wants a single or even double meter pump, any style with either manual or electric reset. This will be for home, not commercial use. Any style is good, as long as the pump works.

I have a couple of these.
One was working when I bought them about a year ago. $150.00 each as is. The other is a little rougher
I am about 30 ml S/W of Atlanta.

Any idea of the year, and does it come with the hose and nozzles? Is it 1 and 1/2 inch inlet?

I have some used nozzles , no hose, I would NEVER use a used hose.
I think they are 1 1/2" inlet, will check tomorrow.I will see if they still turn.
They are from the 50's .. Tokheim 40 w/Gasboy guts.
To have a pump that is in working order, and cheap, is a tall order.
Just the parts to rebuild one , and to guarantee it can be expensive. Then there is the labor rebuilding it.
But whatever you use , you need to have access to new or spare parts, pumps, like cars, break down.
I put these up because they have less parts than most pumps= less to breakdown.
I would think between the two there are enough good parts, two counter units(clocks),
two pumps & motors. You could not buy a good working pump for $300.00. One that would pass Weights and Measures test would be a lot more. There is no way to tell if it is working correctly without testing it with fluid and a test measure(calibrating can) first.I am not setup for that. A test measure(can) is VERY expensive. I will get a pic of both pumps and a pic of the guts this weekend.
I do have a gasboy, rotory hand pump that is rebuildable.

I just got through rebuilding an old Tokheim with homemade gaskets and homemade leather and it seems to work, so far. My friend wants something to move vegetable oil, the counter does not have to be perfectly accurate. At one time I thought I had a Tokheim 86 from a farm, but I can't find it.
