Posted By: MARK SMITH Gas pump cylinder or even gas and oil related? - Tue Jul 15 2014 01:23 AM
Bought a group of cylinders over the weekend and a small Pyrex glass cylinder was in the group. Measures 8 3/4 x 14 O.D. Any ideas what it was used on? Thanks! Mark
MAYBE an Anti-freeze exchanger

I think that is the size cylinder used on an acetylene generator

I just did a quick measure on the cylinder on this cooling system purger that I have and I would say it is a match. They are marked Pyrex as well.
