Abstract: This treatise deals with the restoring work on a petrol pump which had been used by two different petrol companys.
In the beginning the petrol pump had to be consolidated with a cyclododekan solution. After descriptions and state recordings was worked out in the historical context the constuction of a pertol staion network in germany, the function of petrol stations. A detailed description of the history of both the companys, OLEX and DERUNAPHT, is given. The X- ray analysis should result in views on deeper colo layers but was not successfull. By using historical records and comparative analysis it was possible to decide on the membership of components to the petrol station. In tests Plexigum PQ 611 was dicovered to be the right material for the consolidation of the colour layers. The colours have been saved by consolidation, several surfaces and comoponents werre cleaned exemplary.
