    Sure glad you and everyone else is ok. We had the warnings go off up here, but just a lot of rain and lightning.

    Cement powder.
    South Boston is basically a Dragon Products depot for companies to truck it further south than we travel ourselves.

    10-4 looks like they can load right there next to where you’re unloading.

    Do they have rules on how much unload pressure you can use? How long does it take to get empty?

    Ideal is 15psi. Some places want it lower tho. I jammed up my own hose at 12.5psi Friday... The rear pocket on this tank is wonky.... doesn't seem like the pressure adjuster wants to work with it... so I cut the hopper valve by half and crack the blow-down - then watch it like a hawk.

    Average to empty is an hour / hour-fifteen, so 20-25 minutes a pocket.

    Cool. I didn’t know if they’d let ya run 15 or not.
    That’s what we usually run with sand. I’ve found 14-15 psi to be a good mix between fast unloading and not tearing up fittings and stuff too bad.
