iRage Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) I thought those hatches were sealed making the tank air-tight so the fuel would not evaporate. Howcome there is fluid coming out of the hatches themselves ? Edited August 15, 2015 by iRage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm even more surprised that no one thought it was dangerous to stand next to or drive though that much split fuel / petrol !! That's Diesel, and I saw on TV a bus struggling to go up hill because there was no traction due to the diesel spill on the road, the tire was spinning and smoke was coming out of the tires!

hrm Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 It seems the tanker truck is of Indian made or at least the only the tanker. They usually don't have seal type hatches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NPP Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Well they would've cleaned up by now. But wonder what would have happened if someone on the spot decided to light a cigarette. Edited August 16, 2015 by NPP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why diesel engines have a high compression ration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrm Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Yes. But serious thing here is that road might be slippery for days after spill and the site is having a sharp turn down hill which could be dangerous for an unknown motorist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the diesel is spilling out of a pressure release valve or something (based on the fact that its spilling out from identical small hooded vents)...and thank goodness it was diesel and not petrol that the tanker was carrying!

I don't drink arack as you call it, cheap or otherwise. I also don't get drunk, and I take the pics. Considering what you think is a good idea to do to a car, I think its quite obvious to anyone here who has been at the cheap arrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
