Tanker Delivery--textbook procedure 

Your right. Always attach to tight fill first . To many guys have opened their valve before connecting to tight fill. Especially if talking to someone or something distracts you for a few seconds.

Lets make a video of how NOT to deliver fuel

Who has time to hook a vapor hose up at all?

The four step process you talk of is how we do it at marathon up here in Alaska! If Marathon saw this they would be shitting them selves and ripping you a new one, especially using the buckets like that.

I'm new to tanker fuel this dude all bad

so you just vent them to the atmosphere instead .......

> don't have a trailer full of explosive vapors to worry about!! Oh the hell you don't. The fuel that was in that tanker compartment left the inside of the compartment nice and wet, and it's volatile; it will and does produce vapors. Also, those vapors, and especially any condensate, count as whatever product you last picked up at the loading rack. So do not even think about turning the product ID wheel to "EMPTY" on that compartment unless and until the compartment has actually been washed. DOT can bust you for that.

Simon Tallboy you only have to wear FR Clothing if you are a contract fuel hauler . I work for a company that hauls our own fuel and we don't have too follow Canadian Fuel Regulations

Yup and you also have to refer to the human race as "peoplekind"

Could you explain more what you saw happening? "...second 87 (octane) tank uncapped, both vapor and liquid drops"? What do you mean? "A good way for fumes and fuel to come out of the tank."? The tank; not the compartment?

@@sardonic_smile_8752 I think he meant that not only is it bad practice to just leave the underground storage tank (UST) open to the air (adding to pollution), but because the USTs are often manifolded together for vapor recovery, if something goes wrong and the driver dumps more fuel than the intended UST can hold, that additional fuel will reach the top of the UST (sure am glad I defined that, given how many times I'm using it :) and then it'll flow up through the vapor system and spill over into the next UST. If the excess fuel overflowing from the first UST is enough to overfill the second UST, now, because UST #2 is open to the world, the fuel will start flooding the gas station parking lot! Oops! Also, even if the neighboring UST has plenty of room, the vapor system isn't meant to carry liquids. If that were the case, they might let us use them to conveniently fill multiple USTs if they all contain the same product, without having to move our hose and nozzle from one UST to the next. Also, if all we have uncapped are the vapor and the one UST's fill port, with liquid and vapor hoses connected, we have a closed system with a 1:1 volume exchange going on, with liquid going into the ground and vapor going into our tanker, replacing the liquid that is leaving. If we overfill that UST, there can be some spillover into UST #2 via the manifolded-together vapor system, but it'll be slow going, without a wide-open to the air fuel delivery port. There's kind of nowhere for the air in UST #2 to go, as fuel tries to spill over into it through the vapor manifold line, so it will be a slow glug glug glug sort of process. And without easy, fast flow into UST #2, when UST #1 reaches its max, you'll hopefully start to wonder why there's no or almost no fuel flowing anymore, but your delivery hose weighs 100 pounds or more.🤔🤔🤔 Then you'll hopefully close your valve to stop more fuel from exiting the tanker compartment you're emptying, and hope that several thirsty cars come in to buy a 20 or 30 gallons, depending on diameter and length of your delivery hose, so that after people buy that fuel, you might have a hose that's safe to disconnect from the UST. Your manager will be less upset if you at least didn't disconnect the loading elbow and hose from the UST's delivery port while the hose still had 20 or 30 gallons of fuel in it. That would make a big puddle! And that's my short answer.🎉😀

Phil Sousa its a huge mistake. A number of things can happen. He could forget he isn't hooked to the ground connection and pull his valve. He could have had residual product in his compartment and let 10 maybe 15 gallons spill

Sparky Pal or he’s just knows he’s not hooked up to the drop gun and knows not to pull the valve. This is not a ‘huge’ mistake, it’s no big deal for an experienced driver

It doesn’t matter if experienced driver or not,mistakes can happen. You should never have a hose connected to a live compartment with an open end on the other side. Learn it right the first time and avoid ever making that mistake.

Never, never connect to a compartment without making the connection to the tank first. Stick the regular unleaded tank first and get that started. It’s probably the largest volume of product and will take the longest to unload. You can stick the other tanks and start them while the first compartment is draining.

Those turns in stations are hard on tires too.

So your telling me that you connect vapor recovery to the ground first?

Totally agree.

Or worse, my peeve, people saying "ATM *machine!"* 🌋 WTF do they think the 'M' means?🤔 Oh yeah, uh, diesel fuel doesn't have lead in it either, so let's use it to describe that, too! What could possibly go wrong! 😆LOL

@@planethedgehog2427 Old post but yeah. Another thing that's senseless is this 9/10 in the price. What's up with THAT? Eventually, the price will be $10.00 9/10. So if I want to purchase exactly ONE gallon, how much do I pay?

@@jakejones5736 > Old post Yep, but things stay on the internet forever. Plus, people are still saying "unleaded," so it isn't as though the world stopped engaging in your peeve. > Eventually, the price will be $10.00 9/10. So if I want to purchase exactly ONE gallon, how much do I pay? Well, under Biden, the target price for one gallon *is* $10.009! The late Andy Rooney on 60 Minutes addressed your $0.009 appended to unit prices for fuel as a gripe of his. In terms of gas station pump operation, you probably will find that the pump won't let you dispense a quantity increment less that one cent. It might not be the case everywhere, but my experience has been, when aiming for a chosen volume rather than price, the pump will jump past my target if it isn't a multiple of 10 gallons. It seems that the volume is a rounded value out the three decimal places, whereas the purchase total drives the pump to force incremental quantities to be in discreet volumes equal to $0.01. I wish I knew a gas station owner who would set his price to $0.009 per gallon, yeah, under a penny, to see whether the pump would force me to buy $0.01 worth of fuel, namely 1.111 gallons. I'll try to remember to attempt to get the pump to stop on discreet gallons (e.g., 1.000, 2.000, 3.000) and see whether it fights me until I hit 10.000 gallons.

Are you still working here. My name is Kurt and thinking about applying. How much experience do I need? Thanks

They want to report him to his boss .

Its a sad world we live in

training video

I want to know why they are *violating federal law* by not recording video in *landscape* mode! Oh wait, Biden didn't sign a bill into law, banning portrait mode? Ah, that was his one chance to finally do something right! Not only am I a trucker, I'm a proud member of the LGB community. Uh, that does mean, "Let's Go Brandon," right?🤔
