[QUOTE="ohiosteve, post: 1430442, member: 17303"] Not diesel, but I was emptying a 350gal plastic tote with a vacuum truck a few months ago. It was drip gas, the condensate that falls out of natural gas in certain conditions. I'd done this at least a hundred times. 3" rubber suction hose out of the back valve of the truck into the top of the tote. Well it was kind of vibrating, maybe sucking a little air when tank was half emptied and I heard a click,click,click WHOOF. Huge flames from top of tank, miraculously I was able to shut the valve and rip the fire extinguisher out of the truck and extinguish the flames before the plastic melted through.makes me shiver to think how badly it could have ended. Again, not diesel but gave me a new understanding of static electricity. [/QUOTE]
