Description
This old pump was found at the abandoned cafe/gas station in Kent, Oregon. The price per gallon was 66 cents.
The abandoned cafe/gas station in Kent, Oregon was closed several years ago. The Environmental Protection Agency informed the owners that they had to start carrying one million dollars liability insurance and build a concrete retaining wall in case of leaks from the underground gas tanks. Faced with already slim profits, the owners decided to close their business.
