These installations were often connected to bulk fuel tanks and used to refuel company vehicles or equipment. To comply with trade regulations and prevent unauthorised sales, the pumps were clearly marked with “Not For Resale” signage or globes like this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1743\" data-end=\"1879\"\u003eThe simplicity of the message ensured there could be no confusion between a public retail pump and one intended for internal use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1881\" data-end=\"2185\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1881\" data-end=\"1904\"\u003eDesign and Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1904\" data-end=\"1907\"\u003eThe diamond-shaped form of this glass globe mirrors the shape used by several major British petrol companies, most notably \u003cem data-start=\"2030\" data-end=\"2048\"\u003eNational Benzole\u003c\/em\u003e.

Fuel rationing and price controls meant that petrol sales had to be closely monitored, and pumps dispensing non-retail fuel were subject to specific restrictions. The “Not For Resale” marking was a visible compliance measure, protecting suppliers and operators from accusations of unauthorised fuel distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3068\" data-end=\"3376\"\u003eAs the nation rebuilt and motoring expanded in the post-war years, these internal-use pumps became common at transport depots, bus garages, council yards, farms, and airfields.
