I got my first vintage gas pump yesterday. I can see where this would be a consuming hobby. We went on a southwest USA tour last year, and fell in love with all the old route 66 memorabilia. This thing was crazy dirty before i cleaned it up.....with squirrels living in it.....Check it out.

**Boog** · 05-25-2016, 08:42 PM

Jay. You found Ethyl!

So do you restore it or clean it up and leave it be?

**Joesjunk** · 05-25-2016, 08:46 PM

Watch out, pumps can be addicting!! Lol They are fun to mess with though. Cool pump you found

flashed · 05-25-2016, 08:54 PM

I like it ,dont see them out this way.

midniteblues · 05-25-2016, 09:00 PM

Just a good clean up. And I'll locate a globe for the top, I got all the electric lights working today. We're going to do a route 66 theme on the back deck......reminds us of our trip to Arizona last year.

Yeah, I should have been more specific.

I know where it's going, just not where this thread should be.

just rump bustin ya...i had too after reading the title.

we have so many antique stores around this area and i still dont see these things around.

on a second thought here you should turn it into a beer pump...i'll bring my tank i mean mug

yuccales · 05-26-2016, 06:43 AM

That is very cool!

**Ironangel** · 05-26-2016, 08:36 AM

Cool find! If memory serves correct, (and it often doe's not these days) there was a glass bulb sight window in that small round area. It allowed you to see the flow of gasoline via a series of cups that rotated within the bulb...? Ethyl was short for, Tetraethyllead, an additive used to raise octane ratings.

Sklptrljay · 07-19-2017, 06:30 PM

Just an update if you're interested in this kind of stuff. I built a gas station that also serves as a storage shed. I also converted my old storage shed into a workshop with a General store look. Pretty happy with everything so far. I found while cleaning up the gas pump that the original color and design was hiding underneath. Looks much better now IMO.

el_fantasma · 07-19-2017, 07:54 PM

Looking good

**Boog** · 07-19-2017, 08:44 PM

Hey Jay. Ol Ethyl cleaned up real good. You've got your own little stop n the road in your back yard. Old coolness right there. Watch your speed though. That looks like speed trap.

25 cent Pepsis ?

Sklptrljay · 07-19-2017, 09:29 PM

Freeeeeze!!!!!

Old Roscoe P Coultrane

But where is his hound dog Flash?

flashed · 07-19-2017, 09:48 PM

I aint no Hound Dog .

**special-K** · 07-20-2017, 06:29 AM

I loved Ethyl and her two digit figure.

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-20-2017, 07:49 AM

Looks great

**FleetsidePaul** · 07-20-2017, 05:42 PM

38 cents a gallon. I'll be right over.

I'm loving the storage shed/gas station idea. It's got me thinking...Hmmm. It's never good when I start thinking, at least not for my wallet.

61_FL_Apache · 07-21-2017, 04:17 PM

Love the old gas pump and the shed/gas station!! Very creative!!

El Dorado Jim · 07-23-2017, 10:58 PM
