I was moving my Bowser 115 and actually looked at the Bowser name plate and noticed it was made for pumping Paint and oils. This is the first time I have seen this.
Is it common for these type of pumps to say they are for pumping anything other than gas, kerosene and oil?

Just curious,
Thanks, Jerry

In 1885 Sylvanus F.Bowser developed a water pump using a plunger system to draw water from a well. He started manufacturer in his barn. On Sept.5, 1885, the first unit was delivered to a grocer to pump coal oil. It seems that thru the years, Bowser pumps have been used to pump just about any kind of liquid?
