Need help with figuring out how to use this asphalt tanker!

@G13Tomcat

 

The asphalt tank i pulled never had that system on them and we never pumped our own product on or off so l might be out to lunch here. but I'm going to hazard a guess that they used air to help clean out the line. So you would wait until the tank was empty. Shut the tank valve off open the small valve and hopefully the air would help feed any leftover tar into the pump. Are you pumping off with the truck or do they have a pump where you deliver to?

 

Isn't your company going to let you run with someone for a few days?You're not going to learn anything from a few posts.Hauling asphalt isn't hard to learn but there's a lot of stuff you need to know.Come Monday ask your boss for sheet of the procedure from start to finish.

I think he mentioned that there was only one guy who knew how to run it, and he left.

 

I'd get something in writing saying 'Since your one guy left and I'm not trained - if I F this up: I'm not liable.'

Beyond that... To the wolves! Learn thru crash and burn! With a modicum of decent sensibility, I'd hope.

 

Patty doesn't read. You've been here long enough to know that.

 

You're right...it's been a hectic week and I hadn't had my 1st cup of java to jumpstart the gray matter.

 

Ya I know but I bet his boss knows how.
