Unscrupulous eBay Seller!

FYI
Beware of Daniel Evans. He is eBay seller (1955-57). He is listing space save spare inflators for Panteras.

The bottle he sends are not period correct for a Pantera. The bottle has a completely different valve stem adapter neatly hidden by a large plastic cap. In my case the bottle did not even have the brass fitting. He claims that the bottle is correct because the reproduction sticker has the correct FMCO part number. Huh?

He at first refuses a refund and than deducts the original shipping cost. So I ate shipping both ways. Mad

Sounds like he's met you before!

Kidding - thanks for the head's up. I always LOVE paying for shipping of the wrong part, and then paying for the round trip. Makes me giddy.

Can sellers learn that this small 'cost savings' to them is COSTING them many times that is destroyed good will? The internet has this odd way of bringing leeches out of the closet too.

Again, thanks for the warning Jeff.

Would any one be able to tell if this is the correct inflator bottle? I bought this empty bottle a while back to show with my car from, I believe to be a reputable eBayer (barbaram). I was contemplating selling this, but would not want to misrepresent the item if it's not correct. Thanks.

Dennis,
That appears to be a correct bottle. Under the cap should be a brass valve. The label appears to a reproduction cut short at the bottom. But not a big deal.

If you decide to sell it please send me a PM.
Thanks,

Jeff

Robert,

There is no hose. You put the end of the canister over the valve stem (on your wheel) and push and hold.

vyprgt2,

The only markings on my original ('71) canister are on the bottom. There is only one "dimple" and the letters "DG". They are 180* apart. More markings could have been added on later year canisters?? What year is your canister supposed to be?

That really stinks, but as a buyer who is not satisified you can leave negative feedback with out payback negative feedback coming from the seller now, since ebay has blocked negative feedback from sellers on buyers! I would complain in the ebay feedback forum with a negative. I have been selling on ebay for 10 years now and try my best to do the right thing for the customer who buys your item.

I just dug out my 73 Ford Space Saver Tire Inflator. (oh, and its still full) The canister has the cardboard insulator on it. The numbers on the front read F78-14 and at the bottom it says D3ZA-19FS514-AA The back says net content 15.0 U.S. ounces below that Dot.39 NRC 228/197 M1003. The bottom of the canister does have the dimple and the DG on it.
Sorry no photos
Hope this helps
