Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I found someone on SS that I know......Yeah I learned the hard way to pick up on an empty stomach when we were doing the wvo thing LOL. You'd think after changing two childrens diapers you could handle it, but it's a different kind of stentch.
maybe you should clean out the tank of the 50 gallons for personal use (hint hint)I think a 920 would be a little bit too big for what I need... A 915/6 would do nice though.
I am not currently back hauling the finished product- they are working on getting the plant in Charleston fully operational again. It looks like early next year, I will be hauling from Winnsboro to Charleston WVO, then across town empty, then back to the plant in Charleston with a load of WVO, then back to Winnsboro with the finished bio.
Even though it is basicly WVO with a little bit of lye and methanol in it, missing some glycerin, it is concidered hazmat when it gets processed into Biodiesel. I currently do not have the 5 million dollar policy that our federal government wants me to have, so I cannot haul hazmat at this time. (gasoline haulers are only required 1 mil, go figure) I am saving the pennys for the 915/916 first. Plus they won't be ready for me to haul finished product for a few months anyway.
The guy in Charleston is looking to do a truck a day by June, maybe 2 a day by the end of next year. I have several drivers in mind if the operation grows that large. My problem might be finding tankers- they absolutely love the military truck and trailer, they want me to use it all the time, as it is cool and makes a statement rolling down the road.
If this takes off like they are telling me it will, I may wind up doing it full time, or at least staying with SHAW just for the retirement, and to 'play' with
trains.
I don't have to do anything special to the truck to clean between loads- the WVO is filtered to 100mic and dewatered, and there is only about 50gal left in the trailer after it's been offloaded. It will blend well with the bio.
