There is an ad in the swap meet section for a post-production Model B fuel pump for sale. Like a majority of like ads, here and elsewhere, such as on ebay, all of the photos provided show the pump in an upside down position. What gives? Common sense suggests that the cover for the pump would not be at the bottom of the pump, but rather at the top, but the heck with common sense, right? If you don't know how they were positioned in use, guess and you have a 50/50 chance of being right, but seemingly those odds aren't in play with Model B fuel pump sellers.
