Unique 4 in 1 Gas Pump!!
« on: August 16, 2020, 08:00:44 AM »
I just returned yesterday from driving around the country, visiting as many museums as I could fit in with the family and friends we were visiting.   I stopped at the Auburn, Cord, Deusenburg museum in Auburn, IN and was very impressed with the entire facility.  There are two museums on site.   

I found this one-of-a-kind gravity unique gas pump.  I thought this would interest our KFOCI community.  Enjoy!!

Another 4 in 1 gas pump was the one Sun Oil Company had at their Sonoco stations.  Sonoco dealers kept 2 tanks filled; one was high octane fuel the other very low grade (around 87 by today's formulation standards).  you turned a dial on the side of the pump to mix the two types (or go straight with one or the other tanks) for the octane level you wanted.  It evolved into the regular/mid range/premium buttons found on many of today's gas pumps.
