    Once you learn more about the world around you and everyday things in your environment you've currently taken advantage of and pay no mind to, (be it man-made or natural) you start to appreciate things a lot more and really marvel at what you have in front of you. From gas station engineering to how a Venus Flytrap plant works. We live in an amazing world and I wish more people would appreciate it.

    One time I was going to fill up at a Royal Farms. There was a massive gas leak a few pumps to my right and I didn't notice till a few managers and one oil company manager all crowded around me and gave me the news. They said none of the pumps were gonna work at the moment but welcomed me to wait. Unfortunately, what I didn't realize was that my increased intake of potent Cannabis that day really boggled my mind and I didn't notice till I attempted to engage in conversation. Soon, I said my goodbyes and decided to go to the local Wawa instead. 2 minuets prior to all of this, I decided to put all of my Cannabis and accessories in closed environments. Holy hell man, what a day that was.

    • @randomvideosn0where
      @randomvideosn0where 7 років тому +18

      Yes but it's not actually that big of a deal relatively speaking. Pump it dry into tanker trucks, rip the concrete up, scoop out the gravel, and drop a new one in (or repair but that can be a real pain) and if you're unlucky you might need a few pumps to keep the water out of the tank hole while you do this.

    I used to work at an old full serve station built in 1920. Tanks from the 80's . And the tanks were allowed to leak a cert en amount ( 1 gallon per2500 gallon per week ) its located where most of us have well water and it is less then a mile from the cape cpd bay ....

      not in my aeira our local wells are as shallow as 140 ft but can reach 1200+ . The air Force base has leaked jet fuel and contaminated hundreds of wells in less than 75 years. the ammount of time it takes for ground water to mover can varry greatly, where i reside is essentially a 60 mile long sand bar deposited by a glacier, allowing ground water to move quite freely

    • @saulramirez9852
      @saulramirez9852 8 років тому +6

      No one said EV's are going to save the environment or the planet from global warming for that matter, EV's convert about 59%-62% of the electrical energy from the grid to power at the wheels, even if the power source is from a coal plant, it still makes good use of that energy. Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles only convert about 17%-21% of the energy stored in gasoline to power at the wheels, whilst still needing engine fluids to maintain the vehicles performance such as oil and gas to power it.

    • @saulramirez9852
      @saulramirez9852 8 років тому +7

      and what if you have an electric that is purely powered from a home solar grid? is it still burning oil? EV's are as green as their juice makes them to be. BTW EV's are a solution to the future, 50 years from now we will be running on fumes for the search of crude oil and natural gas, considering the increase in population, demand can only become exponential

    what about the diff grades of gas. like 100%, super, e10. it doesn't show any seperation. or is there more than one tank. i guess there woukd have to be for diesel. but is there for the other grades of gas or is there seperation walls in the tank.

    I have never seen a tank with only 2 straps holding it to the deadmen, is that a steel tank thing?
