Wheel Horse! finally back in action
A quick video of my 1992 wheel horse 416H. My father bought this new , and I inherited it when he upgraded to a zero turn a couple of years ago. it was having an issue, shutting off when it got hot, and not wanting to start. I replaced the carburetor, fuel pump, fuel lines, coil, and ignition module. Runs like new now.

regrooving tires with the VA Alstine G-1000
Просмотров 6 тыс.2 года назад
I'm showing how I regroove drive tires with my Van Alstine g1000 regriving tool. it's a very simple process, the tool works great, and dramatically extends the life of the tire. I've been doing it for years with zero tire failures. I know the subject of regrooved tires is very polarizing. I'm not here to start an argument just to show what I do. these tires currently have an average tread depth...

I filmed this for a friend who asked about how I do this. Then I thought I should upload it here, maybe others will find it helpful. this is just something I do when I want to quickly put a little shine on a tank that's in pretty good shape. this one had some salt streaks running down it after I finished washing it. this is NOT how I do a full tank polish. that requires sanding, buffing with a ...

The cracks in the clear coated rims and the rusty rotors on my 2016 Silverado we're really starting to bother me. That little extra time this weekend for a change, so I started to address this. I'm pretty happy with the results

Oddly interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Are you a dedicated propane hauler or a general trucker? I spend a lot of time on the highway with my job and wonder about these things. I fix garage doors!
@@Constantineopulos I spend a lot of time on the highway thinking about a lot of things also. Lol! Thank you for fixing garage doors. Because I spend a lot of time of the road, I need you guys like you to do the stuff I'm not around to do. For a long time I was a "general" trucker, as you say, and a propane hauler in the winter. However now I am just hauling propane. It is a seasonal business, so most of my work is in the fall through spring. So for the first summer of my adult life, I am on vacation!!
@@dougkratz5269 Hah! Congrats! Do you get up to Scranton or down to Philly area at all?
Thanks. I never realised it was pumped, I sort of expected it to equalise pressure and that would be as much as they can receive in the tanks.
@@lithgowlights859 your welcome. I'm happy to share the info. Glad it helped you
That one king up on the hill recommended me this fine video here.
Thanks for this video! Have a good day too.
*Highly explosive liquid spraying out* Just a little bit of a leak, nothing to worry about.
woah, she really does look brand new!
People like you keep the lights runnin'
What’s the methanol for?
That pump sound wigs me out for some reason.
Yeah, they sound harsh, especially when you have a big pressure differential. Sometimes you'd swear it's going to grenade 😲
Not sure why this was recommended to me but very interesting on a life I'd never otherwise get the chance to see. Thanks for walking through the process.
U bet!
Daym bro never witnessed a propane hauler do their thing. Love it and I loooovvveeee bigrigs😅 will be subscribing have a good week.
Thanks brother! Glad you liked it. It's kind of a pretty small niche in the trucking industry, a little off the standard dry van/ reefer track. Stay safe
NEW SUB COOL
How long does it take to unload that much propane?
Average is around 40-45 minutes. Piping sizes,length,and number of elbows in the system affect those times +or-.
propane propane, time to start the flame
Wait for explosion...
Thanks for showing how this all works! Pressurized chambers have always interested me.
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. I agree, I do it everyday, and it's still fascinates me
Now that's a cool truck
What's all the clicking about
I'd love a job like this, but with a cooler truck and a B-double trailer
What??!! You're saying "Football Helmet" isn't cool?????😂😂😂😂 I know it isn't. It was a temporary I was driving while rebuilding a 2007 379. It served me well,for 20K
@@dougkratz5269 Haha, yeah I can't stand how aero trucks look. I went to your channel and saw your 379, really cool truck. 379's are probably the coolest
you got a sub from me. i always enjoy learning more about how the world works.

What does the Methanol do in the pipeline, prevention of corrosion in pipelines and or working as a antifreeze...
Acts as an antifreeze
seems like a good time for a cigarette
When you deliver the liquid propane and pumps it out does it draw a partial vacuum on your tank? Or because liquid propane is under so much pressure that it draws it until you’re left with residual gas and a somewhat neutral pressure?
Great question! You're on the right track with the second part, however, because of the pressures there's never any kind of vacuum only pressure differentials or equalization. Usually at the start of the unloading process, the transport tank has a higher pressure than the storage tank. We pump it, and the natural high pressure to low pressure helps as well. Somewhere through the delivery process, the pressures will equalize. And usually by the end of the delivery, the storage tank is at a higher pressure than the transport. The pumps are designed to overcome this pressure differential, but it's a good idea to minimize that differential by hooking up a vapor return hose. For repair and maintenance, we have compressors to actually pull every bit of propane liquid and vapor out of the tanks, and then put a slight vacuum on as well. This allows nitrogen to be sucked into purge the tank of any propane vapor for safety
I really really want to work for you. I used to have a CDL Class A and need to get it again. Man the hoops I have to jump through make me so depressed lol
Nice.
That's interesting. I have driven a truck for decades but never a tanker or a compressed gas tank. The airbag pressure was something I also used to gauge how heavy the freight was.
I am a lawyer and lately watch videos only about war in my country, interviews, army stuff etc etc. And I wounder why do algoritms give me videos like these! (Thanks a lot, it was really very interesting even if I will never see equipment like this in real life)
just under 38 Meters cubed for everyone else 😀
Loved this. Who knew?
I hope its not gas your pumping.
Why does it need a pump if its pressure?. Seems like a robbery or fruad. Nice truck.
You partially correct. When the tank we're delivering to has much lower pressure than the trailer tank, it will flow into that tank on it soon. But once the pressure equalizes or becomes greater in the bulk plant tank, you can't move it without a pump. Propane always gets transferred as a liquid. The vapor is just part of it.
what is the purpose of putting 1 gallon of methanol in the hose first?
the real question is how much destruction would an accident cause
Well, let's just go straight to worst case scenario,shall we?: all 10000 gallons in the trailer gets released,vaporizes,and slowly drifts over an area about 3-5 acres(or larger). Then,just at the moment the entire vapor cloud mixes with enough oxygen to bring it into propane's very small flammability window,a source of ignition is introduced and.........BOOM!! Everything in that 3-5 acres is leveled. It essentially becomes a thermo baric bomb. There are all kinds of scenarios,but the most destructive is a release that is allowed to form a giant vapor cloud over time. Let's hope none of us ever has to experience it
I know this is two years old but this is cool that you're in Pennsylvania I live in Shippensburg
Does propane hauling pay by the mile, hourly or per delivery stop?
Your phone is not intrinsically safe and is a violation of duties
IDK how i ended up here but pretty neat seeing how things get done
Love seeing the propane flow through the sight glass. That's a nice touch that I think you should add to all your videos. Sometime othwerise mundane and viewed everyday by you, seeing the propane actually flow was very interesting. Thanks for the upload
thanks for sharing, our work day seems very different
This was really interesting! thank you!
on a cold day like that why not load to 95? Is expansion really that big an issue?
Watching that liquid propane go through the sight glass was just fucking cool. Thanks for showing this.
Decided to watch this at 3AM instead of sleep. I had no idea it took 45 minutes to unload all of that I thought it was like 15!
Good choice
hank hill would love to watch this video
I would be honored!
Just a little leak. Not a big problem………
Lol yes, I know it sounds crazy. But it's true. Now a big leak? That's a BIG problem!
Happy propane man, I hope every day a smile happens upon your face :) cool to see propane is gas but here a liquid.
Very cool video
Thx!
