An angled rack for forklift cylinders is better than the one depicted, IMO. My previous employer had such a rack, it was designed for ease of movement with a forklift. I wrote "EMPTY" on the bottom of each tank so as they were replaced, it made it clear that the rack of tanks was in need of filling. Full ones were in the rack head side up and empties with the bottom ends up and visible,
Here in Texas, the local propane truck meters are set one a year and calibrated for 60 degree days. The day my two new tanks were filled it was 37 degrees the night before and maybe got to 46 that day. Both tanks were "Dosed" with 8 gallons of Propane before being moved into their fixed placement. When the truck that has the FIXED temp. calibration meter pumped both tanks , on each tank 75% full registered on each gauge, the truck meter said I got 400 gallons in each tank. Safely, how many gallons did I actually get?
I worked for uhaul for 9 years. Nobody does this, they just slap 4.6 into the tank then charge it asap. Mostly because Uhaul doesnt believe in payroll lol, it will be two guys trying to rent 12 trucks per hour. Aint nobody got time for propane.
He said that they are filled to 80% capacity but then says fill to 42% of the WC weight at 38:00. That will result in 20 lbs of propane being put in a 20 pounder which would be completely filled. That’s a no no. Did I miss something?
That's a good question. I believe the propane capacity calculation, WC x .42, will give you 80% of the actual full capacity. So, a "20lb tank" can hold 20lbs of propane when it's filled to 80%. Here is my reasoning- An OPD will shut you off at the 80% mark. That's its purpose. A 20lb tank has an OPD that usually shuts off at around 4.6 gallons. Each gallon will weigh about 4.2lbs. 4.6 gallons will get you right around 20lbs of propane. This is where the OPD shuts you off at 80%, thus a 20lb tank means that it holds 20lbs when at 80%. Does that make sense?
If you NEEDED this video, you should RUN from any plant or dispensing station! (Chrissakes, I used to cool my beverages with liquid propane in August. I was fifteen....a LONG way back in the rear-view mirror!)
What's "external and internal hydrostatic?, 32:35 I didn't catch what "POL" stood for. Petroleum, oil and lubricant ? So water capacity is measured in U.S. pounds? 39:58 a couple of "goons" It's not the paint brush or paint applicators fault, it's the painters fault, shure always try to shun the responsibility away from yourself, lol Thank You. This answered a lot of questions I had.
When in doubt repeat repeat repeat. an hour and 30 min to give us 20 min of very useful information
This is Hank Hill's favorite video I tell you hwat
😂😂😂
Propane safety should not be taken lightly.

I need to study this for my job thanks!
Read comments about repeating. This is the best way to learn!

Boss just sent me this for work so far it's a good video
26:50 the guy is like, "WHY in the hell are you bringing this rusted out cylinder?"

This was filmed at the UHaul off of highway K in O'Fallon Missouri

Does that make sense?
I guess since I'm going to learn how to camp this propane I need to watch this video
look at all those propane accessories
*"Non-toxic"*
*"Still dangerous to inhale"*
Uh if it's dangerous to inhale doesn't that make it inherently toxic?

That SAID, I'd been working with the stuff since I was EIGHT!
put the propane tank in an enclosed vehicle ???
Open the windows and put a sticker on your bumper
In many jurisdictions, you are limited to 90lbs, with no single container having a capacity of over 45lbs.
Fucking mad that I’m supposed to watch this but never did.
Well grab a bucket of popcorn and strap in for a riveting tale about propane.

Pretty sure POL doesn't stand for anything it's just that type. I believe POL stands for the original manufacturer of that type of fitting.
It's a Prest o-lite fitting or only left hand thread.
VERY GOOD!
Romper Room!
Nice.
Anybody here take the Alabama Certification test recently?

Just like the fucking book. Repeats the same shit over and over again.
Repetition is tedious when you're looking for a reference, but it works for training something new.

I was on mlk wharehouse to witness that moment of history
