Sparks280zt Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Thought some of you guys might find these interesting. This is (was?) one of my Dads 6000 gallon non-vac tanker trailer. A guy was unloading it yesterday and forgot to climb on top a open a small valve to allow the tanker to vent as it drains. If you dont the suction of the draing liquid will do this to a non vac tanker......My dad is pissed to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenger Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Now just get a hose and fill it back up and the dents will pop out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexideways Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 HOLY SH*%, how much is that thing worth? I guess & hope it was THE LAST one he'll ever crush!!! At least the last of your dad's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks280zt Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 Well thats an older tanker so its probably only worth 25k-30k. But its going to be hard to replace it. Probably have to spend atleast double that to get one with similar specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruez Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Wow... never seen anything like that before.. That happened twice.... ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Never would have thought that was possible. Time to rig up a vacuum breaker. Obviously a defective design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody 82 ZXT Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Well there is a small handle on top your have to throw to prevent this, he just forgot, again! I wish I had pics of the last one he crushed, 5 times as worse. I would think it would be the last time that guy did anything for me! Looks like he needs to be promoted to customer.
