    That was really good. Great safety and double checking. The only thing that I would add, is that I close each belly valve before removing the loading head. Every once in a while, the o-rings on the loading head go bad and it will spray a stream of fuel at you if it is under pressure from the belly valve being open.

    Nice video, I wondered what the loading process was like. I expected you to open the domes on top of the trailer when loading & unloading, the big vent line must be enough to equalize the pressure.

      I know at our terminals here, that’s an automatic lockout. One terminal I think might do a life ban for that. Definitely not a habit to get into. The potential for danger is very real.

      It's easy to determine that he's wearing a head-mounted (difficult to identify) camera that allows him to work as normal - not obstructive, totally safe.
      The reason for the rule is for safety, specifically prohibiting the use of anything that takes ones attention or hinders ones movements.
      Think before blindly obeying a rule that does not exist.

    If possible it would be great to see some backing or cdl related maneuvers. Bless

    What purpose does the scully serve, and how fast can a tanker this size get loaded at a terminal?

    • @SamBrown-qi3fk
      @SamBrown-qi3fk 5 місяців тому +1

      The scully is mostly to prevent from overflow when loading. Each compartment has a probe inside at a set height that if the fuel reaches a certain overflow level it will stop flow. Depending how many compartments you load at a time and the flow rate of the fuel arms they can be loaded in 8-15 minutes

      @@itruck96 can you think of a condition/situation where too much additive was added to the fuel load which in turn made the fuel "gummy"? Because that is what happened to the fuel that I bought at a station. Note: I do not put any over the counter additives/octane boosters in the fuel tank.

      Why would you hope for such a draconian consequence for a man trying to educate others? Besides breaking a rule, is there anything actually wrong or dangerous in having a head-mounted (hands-free) camera?
      Please help me understand your reasoning. Or is it simply that you're a boot-licking blind rule follower who can't stand it when someone isn't like you?
