I say gut'em. Trying to move a pump WITHOUT the guts from one side of the room to the other is bad enough, but add a 200lb pumping unit, a 40lb meter and a 20lb motor, forget it. I bought a pump from an antique shop in the fall. The owner did not realize that there was still gas in the thing, and it slowly dripped the whole time it was in the shop. When I moved it, the gas had melted and peeled the floor where the pump was. When I gutted it, about 2 gallons of black, sticky gasoline poured out of the thing. Do you really want this in your home or shop?
