From my ride bringing Mike's bike to Los Angeles from Louisiana -

Stopped here (downtown San Antonio) on a Saturday for a photo and the bike wouldn't start. *sigh* A couple of extra days in San Antonio waiting for parts. Much praise for Alamo Cycle Plex

After the gas went into our tanks by gravity you had to manually pump the gas back up into the glass till it was full-----ready for the next customer.

This was 2 years ago I think---I bet they are still there.

Back about 15 years ago we had a older salesman who always turned in receipts for gas purchases on his expense reports for either 5 gallons or 10 gallons, never more or never less and never for an even dollar amount. I always suspected it was due to old habits he had from using those gravity pumps.

He was filling 5gallon cans to take home. LOL
