After measuring my visible pump for a new cylinder it looks like the dimensions are 26" tall by 12 3/4" wide. Are those pretty standard dimensions for a 10 gal ? I don't want to order the wrong size smile
Thanks for any help!

Go to the Petro FAQ forum section and there is a cylinder application in about the second topic

Yes, not all pump manufacturers used the same cylinder size. Refer to the chart or at least let us know what pump you are talking about.

There is no info on my pump in the cylinder size chart you are referring to. Any other ideas?

Dave-- I mention to you-- when you show me your pump typical Boyle Dayton will work 12 1/2 x 26 should work. Ruben

If you want to be sure of the diameter , take a piece of tie wire (or whatever), curve and lay it in the channel where the glass fits so its touching the outer ring of the channel- mark it and then cut it exactly where the overlap occurs. Take it out, straighten it and measure the length. Then divide by 3.14 . The number will be the widest diameter possible. It'll probably be something like 26.70 or so. Your 26 1/2" cylinder would be 26.50 ,The .20 (Or whatever) is the slop for the sealer (litharge)they would put in at the factory.
Measuring for the height should be self explanatory

Oh ok thank you Ruben.
I called you and left a message a couple of weeks ago. I found out that its a Safety Steel Products co pump. There is very little info about this pump.
