They are the most knowledgeable guys on working gas dispensing hardware. One of our Oldgas.com Web clients is PEI member Benford Fueling Systems. You can post a message on their gasoline equipment forum at: http://www.benfordfueling.com/fueltech/00a/ Maybe they can offer some advice. ------------------ Oldgas Your host and moderator Jim "Oldgas" Potts Your host and moderator

Sealing the bottom of the cylinder can be a trick. I didn't use the original sealant which was litharge. Call me in the evening at 651-653-6503 if you need more help. I would remind anyone planning to actually pump gas with a visible to check with their insurance company. You may find that they cancel you if you use it!
