“I’ve yet to see a buried propane tank... and I’ve done a lot of UST work.”
Since they are underground — wait for it — you can’t see them!
All kidding aside buried propane tanks are quite common, I have one for example.
They are buried with a large ‘bag’ which is a sacrificial anode.
I’d say of the 40 houses in my subdivision there are at least 30 buried propane tanks.
Most above ground residential propane tanks here are leased - this means the tank can only be filled by the company you lease the tank from.
A buried tank is a tank that the home owner purchased and the home owner is free to purchase propane from any vendor.
Have a good weekend, FRiend!
I saw a clip recently of one of Pence’s men, lawyer or staff, I don’t know which, being interviewed. I wish I had paid more attention. It may have been J6 thugs or another congressional committee. The questioner asked this guy if his faith helped him get through that day. Pence guy goes on to say that while he was so scared in that tunnel how he pulled out his Bible to read, etc., blah, blah, blah. Forgive me for being cynical but it looked so orchestrated and insincere. When do those clowns ever ask about such things with serious concern?
I looked for the clip and couldn’t readily find it on Youtube or RAV news. But searching on youtube it appears to me that this whole thing is attempting to set Pence up as a victim and a martyr and the good guy who should be next in secession. Appealing to religious voters in part of the plan. I don’t buy it.
UST = Underground Storage Tank.
Color me surprised to not have come across one yet in 30 some odd years. Maybe it’s an east or midwest thing.
Do these type of tanks have a set number of years during which they're considered safe? Does some regulatory agency have to certify them every so often?
