God bless this man
Great to see Advantage Route Systems clients sharing about their use of the software modules: Digital routing, tank monitoring, and usage reports. Thanks for sharing, Dayna!
very nices
try getting any customer service out of Viking cylinder company they are the worst
I can definitely see the need for training is this field. If the technician had a class on the mechanical characteristics of the valve he was working with and knew that the little weep hole in the thread would definitely warn ⚠️ him that the rest of the valve was not holding as expected, he would know the danger he was facing.
Intriguing
Can you convert DME into methane?
amerigas has to be the worst company in united states.
Sure hope someone is thinking about the altered occupational exposure risk profile and planning accordingly
Where can I see the connections to run my cable? Wanna know where is located. Thank you
I work in the propane business but unfortunately live in California were the future plan is to go electric! I have 20 years until I can retire from doing this as a profession! Does anyone see propane continueing to fuel our society in the distant future?
Just found out from my mother that walter snelling was my great great grand father but his one son who was my great grand father died in a plan crash so his son Robert had to raised by his uncle Bill and never acknowledged my side of the family cuz he had my mom out of wedlock so they never really knew us till recently
that’s crazyyyy! my great grandpa from my moms side was walter snelling
Yah it's definitely better to work eighty plus hours a week, than hire people out of the blue🙄
Yeah store stinks of propane. Just close the store and stay in that big gas tank it has become. Smart fireman...... Where was he trained.
Haven't seen autogas in the rail space. It was tried many years ago, but the case for it now is much stronger. I think it's time to revisit it
This is an outstanding value proposition. Great presentation guys!

O my god...mad respect to Hank Hill for taking his job as serious as he does.

Leaking gas? Let's lock ourselves as close to the gas leak as possible! The southern accent explains it all!
So you loosened the plug and hear propane escaping so you keep removing the plug? How stupid can you be?
I routinely clear blocked valves at a wastewater plant.. the plug lets go at the worst times.
00:52 WTF would you lock yourself inside a gas chamber.

I find it hard to believe that the technician stood there and watched it without evacuating the building immediately. And surely he had an assortment of fittings in his truck. A pipe nipple and a ball valve would have made a quick fix. I have repaired ruptured steam lines without shutting it off by unthreading the ruptured line and screwing in a pipe nipple with open ball valve attached. Once a few threads are engaged, the valve is closed and then the fittings are tightened. I'm hope gas technicians now have rupture kits for sealing leaks on tanks like I used for large chlorine tanks back in the 80's.
You're right. However, the tech had only been on the job for less than a month and received no formal training on Propane or Propane Equipment. There are no rules or regulations for propane gas technicians to receive training before working in the field in the state of West Virginia.
@@rriccopena It's a sad truth that there are so many examples like this. And it takes tragic accidents like this one before any changes are made.
The lesson I learned was to not stand around like a stack of pancakes when propane is spewing out of a 500 gallon tank.
Training and awareness are absolutely key to properly dealing with this type of situation. These people died needlessly because of the lack of both.
Great respect to all figure in USCSB
Good job 👍
what's with the hurricane reference?
I have not seen many steel propane tank issues even considering corrosion. What problems is this new product solving?
I think they don't explode unlike metal cylinder.
Yea, a plastic-fiberglass junk propane tank.
I was like "I am so fascinated to see how propane relates to Durable Medical Equipment" Seriously though, with DME looks like it would have less energy by volume and produce more carbon dioxide and water then propane. That may or may not be an improvement to untransformed emissions (CO2 is also a greenhouse gas) but it doesn't seem like it would be an improvement to the product. Is there a cost benefit?
It can be made from Biomass, or Electricity (Power-to-Fuel). It is easier to store than Methane (CNG/LNG). Propane is pretty hard to make from Biomass/Electricity, but is pretty similar. So as we transition away from Fossil Fuels, we can use the existing infrastructure (all the propane grills/camping equipment/generators/heating, or even some cars with "autogas" propane fuel systems) to transport this renewable fuel. This *cannot* be done with hydrogen. Also it is used as a chemical feedstock in some reactions if i remember correctly. (Some more reading (see all the links in "external links" and the wikipedia page especially) : wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Dimethyl_Ether )
So you drive prices down then companies start going out of business then you're the only one left and raise prices again. 👎🏻
Good interview guys and great strategic plan going forward.
He needs a nice ring light.
The wrong distance was the first thing I noticed. NFPA 58 also requires that distance IIRC.
Sometimes the telltale gets blocked by debris, or a dislodged or disintegrating gasket. It's entirely possible that the tech had no warning.
I mean... How do they biodegrade? Metal is eminently recyclable. Plastic soaked fibers... Not so much.
I am new to LPG as business. I am looking to import LPG to South Asia Pakistan. Can i be guided which and when are the markets to be best looked at for imports. Email saeedalibanday@gmail.com Thanks for support and guidance
Another great PERC chair. Know you will do great leading strategic initiatives!
Have to wonder why they didnt just use up the 350 gallons and then connect the new tank. Hard to imagine even firefighters standing there in a cloud of propane vapors and vehicles coming nearby, and people in the store smelling gas but staying inside where anything could ignite the gas- light fixtures, a refrigerator turning on, a coffee maker, even the phone ringing!
Probably trying to avoid a pump out fee. If you switch providers and they come for the tank you generally loose the propane and get charged for pumping out the tank.
The Jr tech was an idiot, even with no training anyone with half a brain would be able to figure out that if you start unscrewing the plug and highly flammable liquid propane starts squirting out under pressure and doesnt stop in a couple of seconds, that you should CLOSE the plug up again!
Unless it was blocked.
The pressure from the propane prevented him from screwing the plug back on. However, anyone with common sense knows that if there is a gas leak, you need to get far away. 911 was called, but the scene was never evacuated. When the store employees were notified of the propane leak, all they did was put a sign on the door saying that they were closed due to a gas leak and they remained INSIDE the building. If there is a gas leak, you need to evacuate immediately, not be inside an enclosed space where it can build up and ignite!
The Jr tech was a dumb backward southerner probably with a confederate flag in the front yard...no big loss!
Any company with "Common sense" Would simply make sure there techs are trained and or experienced.... 🤔
Plus KRAM is MARK spelled backwards.
Congratulations Denis. I am sure you will lead the NPGA with strong leadership during these circumstances.
Love your service... Had Co-Alliance for a while.... No complaints.... PLease view my link....ruclips.net/video/jFMj-xFT6zY/видео.html&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR1MBMBVe2hBKzhSnVgrITO04EAmyPSZszFkhk_ZcGkyYtqOLMrd1sALReg
SERIOUSLY thinking about these to use in my lawnmower propane conversion since they are lighter & can SEE level of propane, BUT the nearest requalifying location to me is 73 miles one way, SO IF I purchase I DON'T want to drive that far to find out I will have to leave the tank or wait for hours to get it done, this is the ONLY negative thing for me, go to their website BEFORE you buy and see how close a requalifying location is.
Isee this cylinder really wonderful and strong Should be little more casing stayable your cylinder rotating while in carry
DESTWIN IS MY NAME WHY YOU STEAL IT MAN!
