in Oil Heating

just an interesting thing i never knew was in my home, i found an old Teesdale Automatic Oil Pump”

Home built in 1927

Converted to Natural Gas in the 1990s

This was found behind my water heater

I have found absolutely zero information on the company, the pump or anything related to it anywhere on the internet.

it seems to have a fuse of some sort on the side, with mercury in it as well


anyone have any information on this?

    Wall pump , the set up was for a buried oil tank .. One pipe1/2" iron with a foot valve . The switch shut off the pump and would lock out if ran out of oil …

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    Never herd of Teesdale. I agree it is a pump probably for an outside tank. It may have fed a burner that did not have a built-in pump like a gravity feed pot burner.

    Hope that the outside tank has been removed.
