    This truck has controls on the side which would help if a crash happened during operation of the Vactor.

    Interesting - around here it's all CSO. Which is why they drilled 4 miles worth of tunnels through bedrock under the city of Providence. It catches all the storm overflow.

      Get a straight truck license and look for combo/flusher truck driver you'll get trained. FYI you're dealing with live sewage there's so much pressure even on low you literally get crap in your face.try hydrovac it's hydro excavation which is muddy but no sewage and the pay is by a margine. $50,000-70,000 a year on hydrovac probably $40,000-$60,000 on combo

    Got a question about septic truck, drove by one today next to the road
    and it was expelling water mist top of the truck near the front, is that
    clean or sewer water?

    • @wouterash
      @wouterash 6 лет назад

      probably just vapour from the vacuum pump

  • @onemoremisfit
    @onemoremisfit 11 лет назад +2

    I'm guessing "technically-mechanically" that black tank is involved in solving a problem that might occur where the solution is against environmental regulations. On his job, shit happens.

    • @mopic71
      @mopic71 10 лет назад +3

      The black tank is a vapor recovery system to remove the fine mist of water in the air stream after the air has gone thru the cone shaped accumulators at the back of the truck. The cone shape spins the heavy dirt out of the waste water that has spilled out of the big debris tank. The mist and air then go thru the black tank (sometimes it is call the "secondary tank") and finely the air is pulled thru the vacuum lobe pump. This vacuum pump or "blower", cannot move water thru the pump itself, just air. Water or debris would clog or destroy the internal workings of the pump. That's why the air is filtered several times as it move thru the system.
      To have this black tank fill with water means the operator is not paying attention and has overfilled the truck. Damaged blower pumps cost $10k or more to replace. The operator was trying to avoid admitting he may have overfilled the truck while filming.

    • @Oh_You_Know_
      @Oh_You_Know_ 8 месяцев назад

      The black tank is a Giant Muffler. The air blowers through the blower and the air goes into the Muffler and exhausts out. It's essentially a silencer for the blower.

    • @mopic71
      @mopic71 10 лет назад

      The term is " rodder " or " jet rod ". Older trucks called rodders linked long sections of flexable rods together and spun them like a plumbers power snake as they pushed the sections down the pipe to clean the sewer lines.When they started using high pressure water instead of these rods, the name stuck.
