Vacuum Truck Implosion

I claim no knowledge of these vehicles, but I'll go with "Inadequate Venting" for $1,000, Alex!

 

Every vac truck I’ve ever seen had a relief valve .

a spring loaded valve , usually set at 3 PSI or something .
to prevent this problem from occurring

 

Piece of cake, just put the PTO in reverse and blow it back out,,,1st, with the name partially rubbed off and what looks like a new unit on the side, probably a mechanical malfunction maybe even for the 1st time test. I bet that's a noise that guy won't soon forget.

 

VOID

 

That job sucks anyway.....

1) looks like it tweaked the frame as well

2) were there any billionaires back there..???

 

Most vac trucks that I see that aren't #### pumpers have heavy reinforcing around the outside circumference.

 

Bet he was climbing back up in cab to disengage the pto that was left on and was one second to late.

 

Well that sucks.

Things that make you go boom...
