    Sure does... Me! Lol

    Its just fertilizer, nothing hazmat. So no check valves. If #### goes to hell someone might see me running around like a mad man to close valves and kill the pump.

    Ive seen the results of a driver pulling away from a 6500 gallon tank without unhooking his hose first... Thats a awfully #### big mess.

    Ive got my check list that I go through each and every time I offload. And when I'm finished ,before I start the truck, I walk completely around my rig TWICE checking valves, hose tubes, blow-off lines, lids, ECT.

    Best thing we ever had overall was the older Marlsbury Steam Cleaner. Tank for detergent mix dripped into catch tank and the steam suction pulled it in.
    Actual pressure was city hose tap feed heated thru series of coils by kerosene burner and whatever increase the steam outlet generated. Used a "Pressure Washer" a few times, but on forklifts was too much direct pressure on some components. Blow off distributor caps. bust diaphragms on LP systems etc.
    The hot water/stream seemed to clear off the thick oil/ATF/grease on lift equipment better. Kinda gave it time to soften/soap before blowing it away.
    3000 PSI is good, but it hits very hard on non hard components.

    Little liberalism creeping in there on the fuel figures. Watch it!

    You know; It is the little things that still count, among the more settled generation.

    Tell it like it is, and let the rough end drag...
