West Union, Illinois | OK, I erred on the tank weight. I was thinking of a 500, and that weight was just what an old experienced guy told me ... I have never actually weighted one.
As for Merle's lifting an 85% tank by the ears, foolhardy is the most generous description I can use. My first reaction is you @#$^&!! idiot! Somebody working with me did that I would literally box him one up side the head. And the boss would ask me why just one side.
Such a cavalier attitude toward safety will get someone killed or injured someday. If you are not going to do it right go get a job flipping hamburgers, because we do not need you in the industry. The propane industry has an outstanding safety record. Clowns like you are what cause new and unneeded regulations. A few years ago a transport in the southeast lost a hose and dumped its load and the entire contents of a propane bulk plant across a highway. The hose was improperly made, the hose was not inspected, the safety shut-offs in the plant did not work ... multiple violations of existing rules. So what did DOT do? It made new more cumbersome rules! We do not need that happening.
You lifted a tank at 85% by the lifting lugs? Don't buy any lottery tickets because you just used all your luck.
