bulk head leaks

[Russ Spence]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, I got back today with 175 gallons of mix left , came back out to clean everything up and ahhhhhhhhhhh , a BULK HEAD SEAL WAS LEAKING , REAL BAD

Anyway I just turned on the pump (both) and ran both 5/8 hoses over to another trailer with a large chem tank ond as we speak its unloading its self.


always check those seals folks dont want 100+ gallons of love on the ground

You shouldn't have a hole in the bottom of your chem tank tsk tsk

A guy here got sued from the warehouse that he was in and the surrounding folks + has HAZMAT there.

 

[David O'Connell Jr]

We only pull from the top of the tank ( on this tank that is )

 

[Russ Spence]

I am only pulling from the top in just about 30 more minuites !!!!


I know or should I say I knew better

I've had some slow leaks before, but nothing catastrophic yet. When I have time in the slower months, I try to take fittings off and re-wrap or replace.

A friend of mine snapped an elbow off the fuel tank on a hot water skid one time. From what I hear, it made quite a mess too.

 

[Russ Spence]

Actually it was an elbow coming out of the bulk head and not the bulk head its self , just found out !

Do yourself a favor, get a new tank ASAP. If it leaked once, it'll do it again

I keep some of those plastic trays around like they use at the pool stores for slow leaks, so it doesn't eat the wood under the fitting. Works in a pinch.

I have three in my shop , I didnt have to replace the bulk head it was an 90 degree elbow in the fittings outside the head not the tank

Now you have learned about Bulkheads and SH Russ ?
i have bought the most expensive, triple Teflon sealed ones you can name.
Banjo, Heyward, Chemco, you name it.
NONE last for long.
Always pull from the top from now on, and eliminate this problem.

I thought the Wizard was just a little ol' man behind a curtain?

I use banjos (bulk heads) and upgrade to the viton gaskets, they can hold off the inevitable a little longer. I outfitted this truck with all banjo schedule 80, it has been working well. This is just the intake side, I'm always changing stuff around.
