I work in aviation fueling. My company operates under the truest form of anarchy. \

Funny, I was working at the local airport (yyz) a couple nights ago, and there was a sign near a fuelling area, saying "now hiring, plane fuelers".
I saw that and was all "hmm, wonder what that job is like"?

Yea was about to say this is a pretty normal road/rail vehicle. Maintaince teams for railways use them all the time. pretty cool though.

There are full size trucks and suvs up here that have hydraulic rail wheels that stow in front of the front tires and behind the rear tires. Once they're locked into place the rubber tires drive the vehicle along the track. Pretty neat.

Eeesh, just had a flashback to this horrorshow from 2018:
https://www.kulr8.com/news/montana/...99fe45f431.html

quote:

Two men died and five semis wrecked on Interstate 90 on Wednesday morning in a chaotic series of incidents on icy roads.

The Montana Highway Patrol says five semis all wrecked in separate incidents on icy roads on I-90 between Tarkio and Superior early Wednesday morning.

Trooper Terry Rosenbaum says that at 3 AM, one semi driver's vehicle slid over the median into a westbound lane.

When the driver got out of the vehicle, he jumped off the bridge to avoid oncoming traffic. The driver must have been unaware or unable to see that it was a 100-foot drop off the bridge, and he fell to his death, Rosenbaum says.

Also, you can swap it between trucks if one is out for repairs which you can't do with the usual hirail setup.

It's simple, elegant and easy to use.

I love specialty equipment which has so obviously been designed by someone who knew what they were doing.

The only thing that is missing to make it perfect is way for it to somehow transform into a handcart if the tiny truck is busy doing something else.

Property was their religion
A church for one
Today's hilarity comes at the expense of a different fueling company. I'm driving down the service road and see a fueling truck start pouring fuel out of the air tank, and pouring out of all the troughs, the tanker is literally overflowing. The fueler hadn't noticed and I drove up honking my horn frantically alerting him something was up, which actually was the only useful thing I did. I ran up and hit the e-stop. Didn't stop the fuel from pouring out. I noticed the PTO light was still on, and I could hear what might be the pumping module somehow still on so I turned the master switch for the battery off, turning the truck dead. Still, the fuel was pouring out of the top. Lots. What didn't occur to me was that he might be doing a gravity defuel. By the point I started closing all the isolation valves the fueler had finally gone back and disconnected the nozzle which was the one thing I wasn't willing to touch myself (a nozzle connected to an aircraft of an airline I don't service.)

The fueler was doing a gravity defuel without doing the necessary and very important calculated add after checking the current density so he knows exactly how much he can safely take out. Which at least under my company policy is always 1000 gallons less than the tankers capacity. I remember him screaming "the high-level sensor should have stopped it!" Dude was literally counting on the high-level sensor to tell him when to stop. Now this would be dumb under normal circumstances like when topping off the tanker at the load rack, but gravity fuels are special circumstances because they are dangerous. Gravity defuels are dangerous precisely because the normal ways you would stop fuel flow like releasing the deadman, hitting the e-stop, cutting power to the truck, all of those do not work. And because of that you always follow all the defuel precautions by the book because you are aware of that very real danger.

The high-level sensor stops the tanker from being overfilled when topping off at a loading rack, and it does this by closing the belly valve. A gravity defuel is gravity causing fuel to flow down a hose and back into a tank, the belly valve closing doesn't stop that. The high-level sensor does nothing, so the thing he was counting on stopping him from overfilling actually could not. All of this is just one dude loving up though, and that's no big deal. This wouldn't be OSHA-worthy if didn't involve something truly stupendous, and here it comes:

Airfield safety responded. The company came out en-masse to clean up the spill and document the incident. All their supervisors, managers, safety people, mechanics. And airfield safety of course, lots of airfield safety. I noticed they had another tanker which I assumed they were going to use to drain the overfilled one. I assumed that with all those people there, surely they knew better than to try to move the overfilled tanker before draining some. Haha. Even airfield safety, dear god. Not a single person stopped to think what would happen when they tried to move a tanker filled to the brim with fuel. So they had another spill, and when I came back and saw that I was awestruck. :aaaaa: I actually went up to a fueler that used to work for my company when they were cleaning the first spill to talk with him. He mentioned how it's "still leaking" and I told him that was because of all the fuel coming down the troughs, that they'd need to bring spill kits up top when they went to drain it. One dude loving up is funny, but an entire company not knowing a drat thing is frightening.

From what i've gathered in this thread and the geology fetish thread, you are going to want to put that helmet somewhere dirty and then get it muddied and scraped up ASAP if you ever want people to acknowledge any single sentence coming out of your mouth.

I believe they're generally ok as long as they don't interfere with the ability to inspect for damage. OSHA I believe puts it on the manufacturer of the helmet to allow or disallow it.

Don't put stickers on your hardhat. Apparently it fucks with the plastics and makes them weaker. The source of this information is my own hardhat with a load of reflective tape and my company stickers all over. Was denied them on quite a few sites and had to use the lovely 'visitor' hats.
