Oil Tanker Goes Off Into The Woods

Long enough that it didn't snap and spray oil all over the trees, anyway.

 

With the center mounted reel like that most like 200-300 feet. The one I drove had 150’ of 1” hose on one side and 100’ of 1 1/2” on the other with a short 50’ 2” mounted on the side up by the cab hooked up to a high flow pump that would do over 150 gallons a minute.

 

i really cannot say which was funnier...the truck rolling away, or the dog barking afterwards


hey at chinatown, this guy will be needing a job, get ready...

 

and...."can i still get a job"..????

 

what i wonder is....was the hose connected to the oil pipe, that comes out of the foundation..??

i thought i heard a noise, sounded like something ripping apart..at about the 1:15 point, as the hose "seemed" to be at rest, not moving anymore...

if so, that oil tank in the house, could have be ripped open, maybe even tipped over.

if i were that home owner?

that company will be buying me an all new oil tank, clean up, and most certainly a foundation repair.

sucks to be him AND his company right about now....

looks like CT state plates too.

 

why of course, you silly-willy...

the dog heard it and started barking....

 

I heard the noise too and if you watch closely when the truck goes over the bank to see a puff of dirt from the tire blowing when it hits the tree. I thought it was originally the hose separating from the reel but noticed the hose didn’t move. Most of those fill pipes dont have a connection. Just a 6-12” nozzle shoved in the pipe. Its like filling up your truck but the hose flows 50-60gpm not 25.

 

well, i had oil heat, then switched over to gas. i can assure you that the oil fill pipe, had threads on it, and the nozzle has them too, and it IS secured to the pipe.
