gas pump2 

I've always wondered how these worked! Great video, thanks for sharing!

Very nice pump, my 12 year old son was interested in how they work, but I wasn't sure. Thank you for demonstrating it for us.

Thanks for the upload! This is the only video i can find of a working one in operation! Always wanted to see how these worked!

I am making a couple of fake visible pumps and this answered all my questions without saying a word!!!! Now thats a video!

Very cool!! I've always wanted to see how these pumps worked.

I love these old pumps.. i don't have any visible pumps but i do have a old Electric Calculating Gas Pump.. its a 1950 Gilbarco 996... i restored it from Scrap to Glory... i have a fee videos on it here on RU-vid...

The numbers in the cylinder are reversed. So the customers can immediately read how many gallons had been put into their vehicle tank. This type of pump is still used in the rural areas of developing countries. The minor difference is the filling pump is usually a hand cranked rotary pump, and the pump itself is usually not permanently fixed on the ground, as it usually draws fuel from oil drums not fixed storage tanks...

nice work ! They should be used like this one and kept in fine condition.

I feel like this should be part of a 'We shall rebuilt' montage. Nice work.

This is just to cool!

Do you have a fuel tank underground, or is the pump plumbed to an above ground fuel barrel? Either way it's cool to see one of these actually being used. There's not too many videos of them working anymore.

You had to pump your own gas by hand back then? Jeez, and didn't cars back then get crazy low mileage? The glass top looks really neat though.

Very nice!

Cool,thanks!

So it’s colored that way because it’s farm gas?

Well done

No wonder why they called it pumper

Are all Visibles models hand-crank? :3

sweet

Was the video shot in the 1940's as well? It really finds my gears when people film in portrait instead of landscape.

Todays payin alot for visibles pump and not working uuh funny
