Nice scenic shot on the A628 near Howden Moors.
Oily
That looks as if it is coming up to Salterbrook bridge on Woodhead just before the Derbyshire/ Yorkshire border from Manchester towards Sheffield and I did not know it had acquired a fancy new name but I am getting ancient now Revman will correct me if I am wrong ( again )
What the hell is the capacity of that Texaco barrel?
Looks like a six-potter Brian. So could be 6x1100 gallons or 6x5000 litres or even more. Last tank I had was 35000 litres cap,a three potter. It’s along time ago when the max amount of pet spirit in one pot was 600 galls.Then it went to 800 galls,then a 1000,then 1100 galls.In 1994,last time I was on tanks you could carry up to your full weight of benzene,toluene,cyclo etc.(all pet spirits) in one pot.Don’t know what it is now and couldn’t give a bugger.
Think of the productivity that management are getting out of the drivers by pulling one of those about. I remember when weights went up to 38 ton, shiny new motors came and management said “that’s yours, off you go”. I don’t think so, let’s be talking about a LITTLE bit more money for the extra productivity that will be generated.
The shiny new machines stood there for a couple of months, we came to a compromise, everybody was happy.
