How to unload propane transport

[@ronspring7738]

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.

[@j.a.7721]

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

[@derekkapaun5610]

Heck ya I'm an old retired truck driver! I have 40 years of hauling lpg and nh3 good job on the video I also trained in drivers through the past and empathize the safety cuz it can kill you by being careless thanks bro good video❤

@@derekkapaun5610 thank you

[@robertblake7145]

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

On behalf of the warehouse employee at Gas Equipment, I thank you for this video. Be safe, my friend!

Thank you for your initiative mate, I just hired by Seaboard transportation propane division 🙂

Nice video, Dominic. Not many LPG videos out there. Always assumed it was due to safety regulations. I'm a transporter for Enterprise Products.

Cool vid! Very very similar to cryogenic liquid off/onload procedures, but some how people are scared of it.

Great video, used to drive propane, butane and aerosol propellant, we also done natural gas deliveries, nice set up that you have though.

[@Erokia.]

Crazy, I live in south bend, indiana and was just researching propane jobs out here. This reminds me alot of hauling oil and jet fuel, just a tad bit different.

[@daveapplegate2018]

Would of liked to see how you finished it up. Like what valves you close first, and how you get the propane out of the line when done. Thanks for the video

[@DominicHallMILE]

Dave Applegate I have been wanting to redo the video, wasn’t expecting to get so many views.

[@justinpandorf2073]

Can you show how you wet kit set up and how it connects to the trailer?

[@DominicHallMILE]

It’s a hydro pack 2 line with couplers, a wet kit will work also 2 line with couplers. Some trailers are a jack shaft.

[@punhoss]

@@DominicHallMILE A regular two line wet kit will do it? Doesn't need a cooler?

Looks so much better than hauling gasoline into bad neighborhoods at 2 in the morning.

[@deonwhite201]

Thank you 🙏 for sharing

[@matthewjackson7870]

Just a word of advice from someone seasoned in LPG hook up your vapor and liquid on trailer first from the hose tube just a few turns on then connect on the risers keeps your fittings CLEAN and keeps from oblonging your vapor or liquid

[@DominicHallMILE]

The reason behind the video is to allow drivers that don’t get but 1 day of training to have something to go back to. I have seen lots of companies just let drivers figure it out on there own

[@OmgItsCAndT]

Like to learn more about hauling propane bud,thanks

[@charlesroberts8803]

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.

[@DominicHallMILE]

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.

[@charlesroberts8803]

I used to haul ethanhol and Im going for a job interview to haul propane in a couple of days so that's why I watched your video. I damaged a hose fitting about 15 years ago dropping it and it was slightly egg shaped and I fought it so ever since then I let the hose drop on top of my boot.

[@DominicHallMILE]

Good luck with the job. I have scheduled 40 tile pipe around my hose now so when it shakes on the ground I don’t get a hole in it. I have never hauled ethanol, it must be closed to the same. Propane to me is like a semi retirement job lol.

[@DominicHallMILE]

Don’t know who your going to but crestwood is starting at 85000 a year just saying

[@charlesroberts8803]

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.

[@actualmole]

[@duanetegels2268]

Is your pump driven by a jackshaft or hydraulic motor?

[@DominicHallMILE]

Hydro pack no jack shaft

[@philippetz6691]

Duane Tegels I ran for an outfit for a couple years and all of they're trailers were set up for Jack shafts. They supplied me the gear pump but I had to plumb it from my PTO. Simple enough but a U joint will go out at the most inconvenient times

[@cujbaion1]

Try harder and you will freeze

[@davidwatts5863]

I see tank was empty. You don't have to cool tank down before unloading? I delivery liquid nitrogen and with a empty tank is considered a first fill. It's a long process of cooling down tank before pumping liquid in because tank can explode.

[@Stevexnycautomotive]

Why not just swap tanks instead of refueling with dangerous methods?.

Daniel Gurga it’s a dslr lol

[@danielebrparish4271]

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.

[@OmgItsCAndT]

Thanks bud

[@garthks]

I did not see you clamp a grounding strap from the frame work of the bulk tank to your trailer.
