Title: Must be the season for spilling oil
Post by: Tony on November 12, 2012, 08:59:09 AM
Silly me didn't check the sight tube on the 1100l storage tank before pumping oil into it.

Heard an interesting bubbling noise so turned off the pump to hear a trickling.  It was coming out the vent.

Oh well at least it's contained in the bund and the side of my tank ain't going rusty anytime soon!

Pumped some out into the processor so there's room for expansion with warmth during the day.

Going to have to start storing my excess in separate drums I think!

Time was I'd sell the excess to the locals for not-a-lot but one year I ended up with a near empty tank during the winter and then I swore I'd keep it all.  My preciiioooous!

Better to look at than look for I say.

The wife's not so sure about that though.
