A harbor boat this time


Recommended Posts

Petroleum's. Oils and Lubricants are only as dangerous as the people who work with them, keep to the manual and nothing will happen, spent a good few years doing it everything from looking after tanks containing over 4 million gallons of Jet fuel to. Liquid oxygen/Nitrogen. Compressed Cylinders are a nightmare to handle with a crane and chains. Imagine Guarding a 60 thousand gallon rubber tank containing Jet fuel in Desert, A woman was decorated for fighting off insurgents doing just that. The worse stuff was called Avpin (Isopropyl nitrate) this stuff  is a low-sensitivity explosive, It would arrive in 40 gallon drums, If you put a drop on the end of your finger and flicked it off it would explode. I was that nutter that was sent to unload the stuff, aircraft tyre under the back of the lorry, turn them on there side and just roll and bounce, Strangely there was never was anyone else about whilst doing this, Just listen to those that have been doing it for years and you will be fine.
