Milled corn and grain products produce dust.I was going to say , I have personally witnessed spontaneous combustion from wet straw being stored improperly on more than one occasion !

Hey guys , we certainly have hijacked the **** out of this oil thread , again . P S. Before you say anything Ben , yeah it's mostly my memory lane fault brother ! 
Oh a milling operation , what's that qualify you for white lung ?
This topic has been beat to death talk about anything you want.Hey guys , we certainly have hijacked the **** out of this oil thread , again . P S. Before you say anything Ben , yeah it's mostly my memory lane fault brother !
No milling just storage it is a large farming operation i am one five full time employees.Oh a milling operation , what's that qualify you for white lung ?
Used for the farm it self as livestock or chicken feed Jake or for eventual sale ?
Used on the farm use a standard blend of crushed corn and molasses medicated with rumensin.
I have used the Barnes X, XLC, TSX, TTSX and now LRX. I have also used the Nosler Etip and Hornady GMX. The TSX and latter Barnes are easy to get to shoot. The others not so much. They all work about the same, which is to say not as well as lead and copper bullets in terms of abrupt kills. The do penetrate very well and most often you get two holes. I've only recovered a few one is pictured here with the elks ivory next to it. The other was an etip recovered from a deer I shot at 6oo
yards and change with a 270 winchester.I've seen hay do that when bailed too wet.I was going to say , I have personally witnessed spontaneous combustion from wet straw being stored improperly on more than one occasion !
And of cours working at a coal plant we always had bunker fires in the spring due to wet coal
Nice cobtrokked expansion
We had coal bunkers on #1 #2 & #3 boilers . Had been decomissioned for yrs when i arrived . No fires lol.
Never fun. Used 40' piercing rods with a solution of stuff that's a sort of like dish soap. Can't use water as it channels and gives the fire more oxygen. A godsend was when they bought us a thermal imaging camera at my advice. Then you could look at the outside of the Bunker and determine where the fire was. Then we would go up to the top gear up and in SCBA's and try to stop the smoldering with the piercing rods. Once we got it cooled off we would run the bunker out, hose off any coal deposited on the walls and hopefully that would get us a few weeks down the road before it happens again!
Yeah , we had similar issues within our Cokemaking Production areas , were Coke breeze or fines would cause similar flare ups or smoldering issues within Conveyor belt junction houses . ( level vertical elevation incline) changes within horizontal inclined belted conveyor lines . That moved aggregate from the coal docks to the operating area . Often Coke dust , could & eventually would accumulate & could cause concern of a lel (lower explosive limit) saturation point value . Which , often involved a spontaneous ignition & explosion of accumulated organic gases . I did over a 30 + yr tenure experience a few such incidents . Only , other explosive industrial incident I ever witnessed , was a underground Acetylene cargo line corridor leakage & resultant explosion . It , took out a complete railway line . It gave me a better sence , of confined space recognition & required preventative measures to prevent future issues or serious incidents of this Nature !
You likely do not have adequate insulating of your steam main lines or less then stellar drip pocket & steam traps sizing to effectively remove the condensation formation within you steam mains , prior to your steam injection points . Often drop pockets are not adequately sized to work as a cooling leg to ensure quick & effective removal of condensing steam which can be carried downstream & wreak havoc with operating equipment & instrumentation metering stations .
Condensation is not a problem but the output end of the condensers has about 10 inchs of vacuum on it and the lines stay clear once everything is warmed through.
I was replying to Mr Walker as to his Bunker C oil steam injection heaters , flame out issue Jake lol.
ok
Man we jumped around quite a bit lol. Had a kawasaki kh 400 triple that was given to me with a sized center piston after high school. Rebuilt it. parts were a bugger to find back then. Rode it for a summer. Some guy saw me getting gas and mixing oil in at the gas station offered me $2k for it on the spot. Ended up selling it to him about a week later. Was a hard bike to ride imo, handling wasn't the best and how the power band hit so hard made it a real pain. My old man ran 750 triples back in the day and he said it was pretty gutless compared to his old 750. Can't say I was sad to see it go back then, but I wish I had it now.

The ttsx is one of my favorite bullets. I run them in several calibers now.

Do not use marine oil in air cooled motors. Marine engines run at a constant temperature whereas air cooled engines are prone to overheating. Something to do with the amount of ash in the oil.
