I remember when some stations still pumped gas by hand by turning a
crank. And now I do the same with my diesel tank. Back then motor
oil was hand pumped into quart glass bottles that had a metal spout.
They didn't have canned oil yet and certainly no plastic bottles.. The
gas stations filled the quart bottles with a hand crank pump on a 55
gallon drum.
