Not tempted by a little "who?"

This is what I could see from outside my cab yesterday!





Caused by this lovely chunk of concrete that dislodged itself as I drove over it!

A colleague ran over an oblong drain grid, part of a continuous line of grids in a truck park. It went near vertical and speared a bigger hole in the bottom of the fuel tank. The driver and mate did very well to drop the trailer before the fuel emptied out of the tank!
Non-repairable, new tank. Oooft!

Bloody hell, that's a mess!

I've seen a transporter do it on a kerb at BCA, was stuck there for days till a new tank could be fitted.

I had just filled up with diesel before arriving at this site. Lost the entire 500L!

I had to wait five hours to be recovered!

The site managers were all very apologetic because the lump of concrete should’ve been cleared away last Friday when it was spilt. I was the one and only person to drive over it and they very quickly broke it up and got rid of it once my damage had been caused.

My boss will be claiming the cost of the replacement tank and the lost fuel back from the site owners as well.

I saw someone in a wagon and drag go over an above ground weigh bridge with his suspension lowered, it ripped the whole bottom of the diesel tank off like a tin opener and dumped the whole lot instantly!

Saw someone do that with a powder tanker a few months ago, tore the valve clean off of the bottom of the tank and dropped half the load on the end of the weighbridge hehe

The caravan club used to knock out the bolts holding the tank straps and nick the whole tank full of diesel around here, fk knows how many of them it needed to lift them into the back of the van.
