Back in the late 1980’s and early ‘90’s there was an Amoco station in our town that had sight window nozzles. All 3 grades used nozzles that had a little sight glass in the top of the handle. They had 3 or 4 little colored balls inside to help you see the gas flowing.

Does anyone else remember these? Were they only used by Amoco or other companies?

I wish I had a picture but I cannot find one online anywhere. I used to get gas at this station a lot as a teenager and remember them well.

I’ve tried to find one for a long time but never have seen one surface. They were a new style nozzle with the rubber covers but the sight window was cool.

Anyone? I found this post on another forum. I knew they had to be used elsewhere. He’s describing the same pump handle.

I asked my wife today and she said yes she remembers them too. I still cannot find a picture of one....

Mike, I remember them. Used to run Amoco Ultimate in my FXRP.

they have a web site to look at them.

I did a search with above info. Is this what you remember using?

That’s very similar Matt. They did have a window on top of the handle and had little balls inside that swirled around. I’ve never seen an old original show up that Amoco used though. I’ve looked off and on for years for one.

I used one for years where I bought Amoco gas in Charlotte. Had little whit balls in it, right where Matts picture shows a hole in the red cover.

Finally found one! NOS too.

I remember using these before, but I’m thinking the ones I used were at Sunoco stations....

That is so cool. Glad you found one.

That is very cool! I have never seen one!
