This video has some interesting facts about the American creation of the filling station gas pump, and how it evolved over the years. 
Enjoy,

Hi Rob,
Wanted to say a heart-felt Thank-You! Very much enjoyed the video, and really felt like was out in the lot with you on a private tour of the collection. I think I could have asked questions until the sun really did set and we were left looking at the almost neon signs under the stamped metal. Will have one for the pinball room one day.
@@DonMeadows You’re welcome Don, I am glad you enjoyed the outdoor tour. Btw you mentioned pinball room and I find that interesting because I also collect pinball machines 😁😁😁I appreciate the EMs but collect tge 1990s games and newer. What era pinball machines do you have in your collection? Thanks for visiting my channel. Rob
This was a very interesting video of the gas pumps. It was very educational. Was not aware of the pumps from 1901. This is a good tool to use in the future. Thanks alot.
Glad it might be helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting. Rob
I grew up in my dad (and granddad's) country store. In the 50's and early 60's we still used a 1920's visible gas pump. My early job was to keep the gas pumped up to the top...I once got in big trouble with my dad for attempting to keep it full while he was putting gas in a car...I have a nephew who restores cars, and I passed it and a large round HC Sinclair gas sign, on to him...always love to see all the old general store stuff. Thanks for your videos.
Thank you for sharing your experience and story from the past! I am glad you saved the pump and sign and passed it to your Nephew.
As someone who knows nothing about cars, this is super interesting!
Well I’m glad you found it interesting. Thanks for visiting. Rob
Hi rob great video i love the pumps from white aero to the blender thanks a lot . Cheers mate🇦🇺
Thank you for your continued support of my channel regardless of the content. I asked everyone what they preferred in January. The last three videos covered the responses. I have a mixed viewer channel but all my content is interrelated.
What a great video on the evolution of gas pumps. The first pump that you showed where you had to use a bucket and a funnel to put gas into the car must have caused a lot of spills.
Some pumps today have a tv screen that shows some of the days events, although sometimes I wished it had a mute button.
I remember all or most gas pumps from the 1960's and 1970's only went up to a maximum of $9.99. When gas prices jumped up in price due to the oil embargoes in the 1970's, many stations had to quickly replace their gas pumps to accommodate the higher prices.
Thanks! You are correct in saying that they had spills using the bucket. I remember reading that. At the very end of the video it ends on a modern pump with a tv screen like you mentioned. Thanks for watching and commenting. Rob
Thanks for the tour, double thumbs up on this video.
You’re welcome Tom ! Thanks for watching it .
Black n White photo of the 60s multi blend pump..Jane Mansfield. ❤
Thank you I didn’t know who that was!
Totally cool!
Great video Rob, so interesting to see the history of pumps during the years. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Thank you Robert. I am glad you found this video interesting. ⛽️⛽️⛽️⛽️
Love the Gas Pumps!!!!! ⛽⛽⛽
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed seeing these old school pumps.
@@gaspumprob ⛽🙂👍⛽
Just helping out with the algorithms. Anyway that's very interesting 🤔. About the gas pumps I can remember some of those problems because you know some of the stations in the midwest they got ancient pumps. At least they did have. Nice touch with RoboCop gas pump at the end. No seriously think about it what would somebody think about that 2023 gas pump ⛽ in 1975.
Seriously that end clip was thought of on a whim while filling up my gas tank!!! Thought it would close the video out nicely.
Yes make
a few more comments separately lol
@@gaspumprob well that was quick and it did finish it out nicely.
On the farm we had a '20's 'visible' ten gallon pump for the tractors. The pump however was a pump handle that could be locked in the down position for security. I've pumped literally hundreds of gallons of gas through it....ten gallons at a time. My brother now has a pair of Skelgas pumps from (I thought the 50-60's) but they seem to be between the Blendomatic and the Exxon at the end of the row. But don't hold me to that for sure because I really haven't paid too close attention to them. What a fun video Rob !! Thanks for producing it for us to enjoy.
I envy you operating that ten gallon visible filling up tractors!!! That would be fun at least until your arm got tried of pumping the handle! Would love to see your brother’s Skelly pumps sometime. I am glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for leaving a comment.
@@gaspumprob Next time I drop by his place I'll get a few seconds of the Skelgas pumps. I think he has at least one on display. I know we poured a little slab and stubbed up some conduit so he could send power out to them. I used to know how many pumps to a gallon on the old pump out on the farm. Many a time I would make a game of closing my eyes and pumping then stop to see how close I was to the mark on the glass at 3 or 4 gallons. Ahhh..the memories. Dad always said that was goldflake paint but he could've just been joshing me.
@@tractorman4461 Thank you , Great story and memories for sure! Please make a note of the pump manufacturer and check the ID tag for a model number of you can. Appreciate it
@@gaspumprob heck I figured you’d know immediately what they are !!Thx fir reminding me though I wouldn’t have thought of finding the info. LOL
@@tractorman4461 All I need is a picture but thought you would have no way to send me a picture lol . I wish we could post pictures in the comments section. How about a quick pan of the pumps in one of your videos? Just a thought
Very good video !
Thank you!!! Glad you enjoyed it!!!
thoroughly enjoyed it Rob!
Thank you for leaving a comment here as well. I am glad you enjoyed the video!
There's one style gas pump that was kind of like the last one you showed at your Ranch but it was bigger than what you showed and still a little different. I remember back in the 80s riding around with my cousin and his friend. She back in the eighties I was like 10 years old cuz I'm only 23 now hahaha my wife is just rolling her eyes at me. Anyway my whole point of it is reason the guys pickup truck and a guy got out short fueling up and they had this big window to look through at the gas station. But since this guy pulled in and parked in between the pumps and the gas station when do they can see him. So he pumped in about 5 gallons of gas. Hit the reset thing in the lever and pumping nother whatever amount of gas. I never forgotten that. Well anyway he would only pay of course for what it showed. It was customary thing to do was to pull forward from the pump so that the cashier could see the pump ⛽. You go in tell the cashier how much you got they look over your shoulder take your money 💰. And we wonder why they don't trust the public anymore. Ironically I can still pump first and go inside and pay for the gas at that very same gas station 🚉. Whenever I'm out his way. Their gas pumps is still about 20 years behind the times. They still had the black with white number dolls rotating for a display up to around 5 years ago. Yes I did tell the gas station owner what happened on a subsequent trip. He told me who did it. See he already knew this character. So the cops made him pay for the gas at they thought he had stoled. And he was banned from going to that gas station ever again. They were always the cheapest gas station around so he paid for his error several times over. Has Paul Harvey would say now you know the rest of story. By the way fabulous scenery behind you. Yoda build a house out there someday.
Interesting story and I remember hearing s story similar to this but the guy who did that never got caught . I guess he will pay for it in the end. That is neat that you still have a old school station like that and seeing the last pump in my lineup reminded you of that station and story. The clouds were beautiful the day we shot this video adding to a nice backdrop. Thank you
@@gaspumprob sure the clouds are beautiful and they gave a good backdrop but what you're missing out is what you see everyday. We don't see it everyday. Just like not seeing the trees for the forest or vice versa. Now I appreciate the beauty of the trees and which I live around or live in between. But I sometimes forget how other people may be out in Kansas really find those trees beautiful. Just like that little bit of a mountain behind you compare to the Rockies as you get farther into or maybe it was a bigger mountain inches farther back in the background than I realized. There's something majestic and beautiful about an item that large. I was out the Rockies one-time came out of a hardware store with a straw hat. They were on sale for $2.50 a piece or something like that. At tourist traps they would have been 20 something. And it's been a few years ago. I knew where our travels are going to take us I thought it would come in handy those hats and the boys liked them anyway. Anyhow I turn and look and go wow 😳. Several people around me look and said what what what what does a plane falling out of the sky what's going on mr. I should look at that mountain 🏔️. Everybody just kind of looked at me and said so what and a half a dozen people just kind of melted away. I was head over to the McDonald's back when I didn't care so much about my health I guess. My boys and me and these two people went over there chit-chatting sit down and I'll just gazing into wonderment of this mountain 🏔️. Where else could you get a 75% hamburger for $3 and have a million-dollar view!
As far as the story about the guy still in the gas I think that's what you're referring to. They caught him and ironically they figure he stoled quite a bit. So if he did not want to go to jail. The deal was he painted gas station owner so much money. He did. And he was banned from that gas station and it was by far the cheapest one around. Okay I also gave your link to a guy almost to the East Coast. Because I figured you had the utmost authority that I know of gas pump ⛽. Funny thing is when I talk to text. I say gas pump ⛽ and the next word if I pause to let the microphone turn off. The next word that is suggest is Rob!I guess I've said gas pump Rob so much it just assumes that's the proper words to go together. Well you have a wonderful day we got up close to sixty years today and today is supposed to be I think around 50 so that's fairly warm for us this time of year. As a side note did you know that at the end of The run for the falcon. It was the Torino body style. 1970 or 71 is when the falcons cease to be produced in the United States owe it overlapped with Ford Torino.
That's a lot of nice pumps. In some parts of where I live there is still a few old petrol pumps around. there is one close to me that's now built into part of a wall. Been there for as long as I can remember Where they use to fill up cerb side.
That is interesting- part built into a wall!!! Thanks for sharing. Rob
@@gaspumprob been there so long the wall is built around it. Left the pump in place. From around the fifties I'd say.
@@fellazvintageretro2675 It would be great if you could buy that pump but maybe impossible to get it out without damaging the wall?
Excellent video Rob!
Thank you my friend . May I
Post it on your
pump group page?!
@@gaspumprob I already made a post and pinned it to the top. This is a great video for anyone new to the hobby.
@@chevelle74us Thank you for doing that!!!
Rob I always knew that you was going to do a fair number videos keep pumping them out! 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you very much!!! We will keep pumping!! Lol
Going back to the GMC COE next
I think it was misrepresented on youtube
@@gaspumprob sounds good. Hey I got a question for you. What is that RV at the back of your gas pump at your Ranch? Because I saw two of them sitting out in Kansas in a parts yard. I think they're the same as what you have in case you're looking for something. I need to get ahold of that fella cuz I'm going to see about buying a couple of cars out of a junkyard.
@@gaspumprob I'm not sure what you meant by misrepresented by UA-cam.
What a great group of pumps!
Thank you Jeff!!! I really appreciate your help shooting this video feature!!
@@gaspumprob thank you for having me and my family out for this event! I didn’t know you had so many hoses and nozzles! Haha
@@jeffs_garage 😂 haha
Rob, what an interesting video of the history of gas pumps. I have what I assume is a Visible glass cylinder that is 12" in diameter and the height is 26 1/4". Do you know what the gallon capacity would be. It is blue tinted which I understand are more rare. My mother bought this years ago in Oklahoma and paid $5.00 for it! Thanks!
Hello Rodney, That is a ten gallon cylinder. Can’t believe $ 5.00 bargain basement sale item!!! Haha We need to find you the rest of the pump to display in front of your garage!
Wayne still makes pumps.
Very nice collection.
Do you sell parts ?
Thank you. Yes I sell some duplicate parts but will not ship heavy large parts like pump doors . It’s a hobby for me not a business. Thanks for watching and commenting. Rob
Indeed, a very interesting video about the history of gas pumps.
Why don't you open your ranch to visit the entire collection? Sorry, I do not know if you do it.
It's fair to get some money to preserve the American Petroliana.
Rob congratulations on the amazing collection.
Thank you my friend. I have not opened it up for public viewing. It could be done but would require some organization and hard work. I am glad you thought it was interesting.
Gas pump Rob does it again ! Excellent !
Thank you my friend!!! I appreciate your support of my channel. You like the same stuff I like !!!
@@gaspumprob Friends forever Rob !
Just got my first pump. A tokheim 39 tall
Welcome to the hobby of collecting vintage gas pumps!
Thank you very much. I am a 3d modeler working on a 90s gas station 3D model and this helps me very much. Any clue where I could find the dimensions for the gas pumps?
Wow 3D modeling sounds very interesting! Try joining a gas pump Facebook group and you can ask for rough measurements. The 1950s pumps stand at five feet tall no globe. A 30s or 40s gas pump is right at six feet tall without a globe on top.
@@gaspumprob thanks!
Neat
I appreciate you watching and commenting my friend. 😃
