It was a 1932 large oil tank with pump!! So as not to appear STUPID, I asked if it worked, he opened the lid & it was 1/2 full of diesel, then he pumped a coffee can full to demo it. I said I'd think about it and laughingly asked if the diesel went with it! Bill W.

(I know for sure it was about $0.17 per gallon in the late 60's or there about).
