Good news is the oil change is now half way done, you got at least half of it out. Question is if this is original oil, or a replacement oil, because if it is original oil it has lasted really well, and might not be oil from a well, but oil from another source. Going to need a lot of the kitty litter to get that all picked up, and a not minor amount of barber clippings either.
@@jackoliver7506more then likely it’s whale oil & they will need to replace it with, drumroll please! whale oil, it’s hands down unparalleled in quality & durability

Every maintenance guy/ trades guy learns that lesson early on. Extra underwear & a change of clothes is always in the rig. Out of town jobs that come up or just a bad day on the job..At least you have something clean to ride home in.
Thanks for sharing those 3 points of suspension on the rotor, good to see. Yeah if that's just gear box oil then it's probably higher viscosity than what I work with, which is electrical insulating oil. Do they have an idea how to clean it up? Coffee filter sandwiched between 2 funnels? Worst spill I ever dealt with was when a gasket broke at the output of a vacuum dehydration purifier, oil sprayed about 10 feet, but in a small stream, and no person was in its path thankfully. But it's a lesson in why its worth epoxying floors because the concrete floor in our lab just loves to suck up that oil like sponge and leave a permanent stain to let you know where you messed up.
I used to work on transformers and yeah, vermiculite and oil absorbent pads are going to be your friend. Try not to tread it around the rest of the shop too much!
I bet there was some pretty colourful language said at the time of removing the bolt and the oil spilling, it reminds me of years ago when I got my old Leyland mini Clubman and changed the oil and it was very old manky stuff. Anyway lost my balance stepped back into the old oil catch container and it shot up the back of my leg and all over had lots of rags near by to mop up, but it would have been only a few Litres of the stuff.
Anyone want to sing the osha song with me? ;) Come with me and you’ll see a world of osha violations! You guys are doing a great job seriously. Without removing that completely from the hole not sure how you’d do it any other way. And I suspect without removing the roof you can’t get that all the way back out. Thanks for sharing a look inside this is cool.
Tech manuals for something 100years old! Good joke. Didn’t exist back then, lucky if you had a drawing - more than likely that the only copy is locked in the area supers office.
Surely you could just lift the turbine up and bring in a 500-ish gallon tank to drain the waste oil into. I just don't think buckets are the safest or cleanest way to do it.
No way that's 8 foot circumference... assuming it's 8 foot diameter that's a circle with an area of 7238 square inches. If the average depth of oil is 3 inches, that's 21,714 cubic inches of oil, which is 94 gallons.
So who was the poor oily guy who had to jump in their truck and run down to get some vermiculite? Hey Chris any word on ideas to clean those field windings?
If the turbine is adjustable pitch the oil is the source for the power like an automatic prop on a piston engine aircraft. Doubt it's EPA compliant. Something like she'll areo
It's good they "found" the drain plug before actually releasing the cone with 100+ gal in it.
They not have any prints or notes from previous work . This is crazy chit
This video is why I'm becoming an electrician and not a millwright.
DAM STRAIGHT!
As a construction safety professional, I'm cringing while watching some of these operations.
You and me both.
That's why they are doing it when safety ain't around!

Is oil from a well inferior? I thought it was all the same

Lol those were jeans, I thought they were like rubber waders with a film of oil on them :)
Please tell me that this is all being written down for the future poor bastard who thinks this it would be a good idea?

pi * 4ft * 4ft * 3in = 21,714 cu. in = 94 gallons.
5 gallons give or take
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Look at the video it ain't 3 inches whole way around maybe half an inch
The good news is that whenever it rains he can fly.
That’s why I always bring extra pants and shirts with me to work

Good job this is in America ,else you would be at war for the contents of that chamber
Basically a whole video about a guy who took a bath in oil woohoo 🥳

8 ft round 3 inch deep .... probably somewhere in the ball park of 250/300 gallons I would 🤔
No one mentions it, but I’d bet that stinks to high hell
Na, he's not so bad. Meat showers pretty regular, once a week if he needs it or not.
That's the level of dirty where you call someone to bring you a change of clothes
lube oils
"5 gallons of oil lost. Tell us more." - someone at the EPA (probably) (comment for the algorithm)

Always keep a roll or two at home... good ol blue towels... why blue?
So if no one knew that is how to drain the oil... how old is that oil? I'm guessing there was some way for it to be topped up that was more accesable?
Lol covered with oil, been there before, from hydraullics with residual pressure inside 😁😅😅😅
2:33 Be sure to lubricate your humans so they don't take you off, Turbines!
If he was the tin man he would be squerk free for a long time
Didn't they consult reference drawings or tech manuals before taking it apart?
Tech manuals for something 100years old! Good joke. Didn’t exist back then, lucky if you had a drawing - more than likely that the only copy is locked in the area supers office.
Don't tell the EPA.
Depends on the oil, but they'll always find something to hang a fine on.
Grease is the word……🫡🪔

I'm not a viewer.
I'm a listener...ok .
I lied. Grab the oil dry...
lots of oil in there.
I wonder if it was food safe oil since, In case of leaks it won’t hurt the down stream environment
Considering the age of the turbine, it's doubtful
its "all natural"
Yeah right. Wouldn't be if it were built today, let alone in the roaring twenties.
