This is a beautiful and long history. I say this because only a great passion allows us to make so many efforts.
I want thanks a lot Paul Hittle of Severn Gas Pumps because he was serious, fast and very professional.

Ok we can start
I contacted Paul in May 2006 because I was interested in some parts for restore my two Wayne 100 and ask for availability and details about visibles pumps. Paul was very kind and he said me he could ship pumps and he sent me many photos. I was very happy because it is very difficult to find people who ship large objects. I spoke with a dear friend and I convinced him to buy one visible for himself and he accepted. In this way we could split the cost of transport.
I decided to buy a Fry 17 5 gallons and my friend a Fry 117 10 gallons.

Here you can see the pumps in front of crates in the warehouse of Paul

Finally arrived after 5 months. The reason of a so long time is due to the connection with the container. I know a guy in Florida that ship one or two containers of motorcycles in Italy so he collected all the stuff I ordered.





Wow awesome!!!
