As a propane transport driver I thought I could be helpful to make a video on to unload a propane tanker. If you have any questions please leave them in the comments.

Thanks for sharing your expertise on your work. Your detailed explanations clarified aspects of a subject I knew very little about. I was taken by how much more there is to your job than just hooking up a hose and letting it flow! Be careful out there! Be safe! Thanks! Bob

Any video like this gives the inexperienced the idea of what is the 'Right Way'. 35 Years of Hazmat has taught me 1) PPE first for propane is ear protection, FR clothes, insulated gloves, Hard hat and safety glasses. 2) Chock blocks 3)Connect the ground cable to the unit. 4) NEVER drop the hoses on the ground - those 2" hoses are super easy to handle. Pull them out with 1 hand and catch the loose end with the other hand. Opening belly valve slowly to equalize the pressure and all other valves get opened very gradually. A quick motion on a valve handle can 'slam' the safety valve shut. Overall the video gave us a glimpse of how it is done. Hauled fuel for years and then Propane. Loved Propane - clean dry and doesn't stink like fuel. Empty tanks in the winter give great traction too. Canadian regs are enforced more than the U.S obviously. Doing an unload like that up here would earn you a trip out the gate.

US gets enforced also. It all depends on the plant manager. But ppe is important. Obviously common sense is more. I had a guy at my plant that got burned, how I don't know and he had a face shield. But it got him in the neck

Seems like you should have to ground the trailer, and yes I understand there is metal in the hose that grounds it but a separate ground before you hook up. I don't think I would let the end of the hose fall to the ground when removing it from the truck so it does not get damaged.
@DominicHallBuffaloNick
@DominicHallBuffaloNick 5 жыл бұрын
Charles Roberts they don’t have a ground cable, well there’s 1 there but it’s not hooked to anything. I get what you mean about the hose, I don’t do that anymore I had it fall right on the vapor hose and flatten the end lol. Some of the places I used to go to are not maintained well. I will possibly redo this video, but still a decent basis for someone to get the concept. Thanks for watching.

Ethahol is the same as Gasoline.Same trailers, same Sculley but less hassle because your unloading at the fuel terminal not loading and waiting for the price to change. No dispatchers on the phone telling you to go ahead and unload at the gas station when you know it wont fit. No snowplows plowing off the lids. Easy money and loads with an arm same as petro.

Sickening that he is not wearing PPE and there is no one to supervise the off load in case he has a medical emergency. No ground wire means no off loading. They should also be reported for having a rust spot on the tank. Whoever owns the transportation company is going to be looking at a multi-million dollar negligence suit for not properly training, testing and checking their driver's safety knowledge. The customer should be audited for the safety of their facilities. They need to have that grounding system checked annually by a certified technician. The static charge caused by the fuel flowing through the hose and pipes needs to be dissipated through a discharge wire that is connected before the product transfer begins.
