New addition to our aviation museum..
« on: July 14, 2013, 03:53:00 AM »

Thompson refueler by aardvark_akubra, on Flickr

Thompson aircraft refueler,  500 gallons petrol, 100 gallons oil,  Ford 10 engine.  All the pumps and filters etc plus the dispensing gauges and hoses.  Runs well, but we wont be using it to refuel aircraft.  c1948.
