Did you see any selling by the litre? If so, what did these pumps look like? New or old looking?
In other words, in order to sell in gallons, one has to use extremely old equipment. I wonder if there is any new equipment made in imperial gallons. If someone wanted to buy a new pump in imperial gallons, could they get it as a standard or must it be a "special order"? I wonder how they keep the old equipment going and accurate, or don't they care if the pump is accurate or not?
