if you hit your leg on a table, would you chop both legs to lower yourself ? I'm just kidding grin grin grin

I would fix the panels to make just like it was when it came off the factory

have a merry christmas

A research of Aqua history might help you in your problem. Go to this page of my website: http://petrolianacollectibles.com/pc-1.htm
Click on Company Histories
Scroll down to Aqua, you will see that Aqua became a part of the Neptune about the time your pump was made.
If you have a copy of my Gas Pump ID book, look up the Neptune 855 pump, I believe your pump is identical to the Neptune 855, and now you have two places to look for replacement parts.

I suspect that most people on this site have no knowledge of an Aqua system.In my thirty years of driving tankers I can only recall one air base that used that system that we delivered to.I bet Jack knows!

Pumps rarely look good chopped, lose their proportions. Best to replace metal, fiberglass will work if you don't want to do metal work.
