I'm so old I actually remember pumping that gas and washing the windshields.... and checking the oil, and checking air in the tires, and most anything else I was asked to check. Not only old, but stupid enough to pump gas with a lighted cigarette hanging out of my mouth. Knock on wood, I survived even while leaning down real close to the gas filler on the '56 Chevy BellAir to try to see just how the fill line was run ... yeh, with that same cigarette hanging and gas fumes so strong I could see 'em. It's been said that God looks out for babies and fools and I'd been out of diapers for several years. How many remember where the gas fill pipe was on the '56 Chevy?
. It was a challenge finding them on certain cars. Remember the old vow beetles where the tank was under the hood and you’d have to reinflate the spare tire because the air from the spare powered the windshield wipers? Or the two stroke SAAB’s where you added oil to the fuel tank before filling it up? Good memories,
