Hello All,
I attended an auction yesterday that had a JC Doty visible gas pump. This pump had a 5 gallon cylinder. I ended up buying it cause it's odd and a Doty is somewhat hard to find. The pump itself is in decent shape for sitting outside for 60 yrs or so. It hadn't been used for some time, but it was still hooked up to the underground tank. The dome on it is aluminum, not sure if it's correct for the pump or not.
What I'm wondering about though is if they indeed made a 5 gal. pump, I see the Doty pumps in the book, but they are all 10 gal. I'm wondering if this cylinder has been cut down from a 10 gal.. As you can see in my last picture the numbers are etched into the glass, but you can only read half of the 5, the bottom half is covered up by the lower cylinder casting.
I also wonder if the pump handle is correct for the pump. Looks like it could be.

Thanks,
Ryan
