The rumor about the shipment states RAIL CAR. Here is the code regarding rail car sizes:

For me it wasn't about SIMPLE MATH. It was about SIMPLE READING

49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
Chapter I
Part 179, Specifications for Tank Cars

Subpart B-General Design Requirements

§179.13 Tank car capacity and gross weight limitation


Tank cars built after November 30, 1970, must not exceed 34,500 gallons capacity or 263,000 pounds gross weight on rail. Existing tank cars may not be converted to exceed 34,500 gallons capacity or 263,000 pounds gross weight on rail.


[Amdt. 179-4, 35 FR 14217, Sept. 9, 1970]


They go as small as 4,000 gallons, but the ones you typically see (fuel and organics) are around 10,000 to 30,000 gallons. Compressed gasses are much larger since they need a lot of headspace (empty volume) for the same capacity.

they just shipped a rail car from Georgia

It's called SIMPLE MATH

An oil tanker truck holds 200-215 barrels.

There are 42 gallons in a barrel.

17,000 divided by 42 = 405 barrels.

405 barrels is roughly two oil tanker trucks. Hence a 17,000 single purchase order = roughly double oil tanker load.

Quote:Double tanker load? WTF? Where do you get this stuff? If it is for real, 17,000 gallons doesnt even fill one rr car.



But let me guess....Indigo has never heard of John Bordynuik?

ROFL!!!!!
