What would you do with these?

Can we use the same price as fuel for beer :D;) . $1.45 a litre sounds great for beer :cool::wasntme:

What Brand? Gilbarco would likely buy them from you if they are their own pump.
Contact Metric Calibration Services in Smithfield Sydney. They are a service company and may be interested in the pumps, regardless of make and type.
Anyone who bought them for commercial use would have to have them calibrated as part of the upgrade to the site so not your problem for sale. Any private buyer does not need it calibrated to .05% so again no worries.
Digital display type pumps are not collectors items at this time.

If they are goers you will have little trouble selling them, yellow pages for fuel installation companies. (maybe ebay) to property owners with their own fuel installations. Or depending on age some country servos will buy them to upgrade their older equipment without the huge expense of new stuff.

High flow diesel pumps are the big ticket items and are sought after in truck yards and properties.

Apparently it will cost more to have them re-certified than they're worth.

The pump motors appear to be single phase motors. Looks like there's heaps of quality fittings and valves in them. The diesel bowsers are low flow.

I know that lots of farmers and other businesses etc will buy them at the right price. Most fuel carriers will no longer pump petrol into overhead tanks for gravity fill, so farmers etc (if they use petrol in any of their vehicles or small engines) can no longer buy petrol in bulk - so are either buying in drums or not getting petrol at all.

That's what we have had to do in any case, now only diesel for the truck, the hi-lux ute and the tractors, while my Rangie and mums toyota go to the petrol station.
