2025-05-10 12:04:31 +0000 UTCI've worked in process plants most of my adult life. (chemicals etc.). i look at things through a different lens for the most part. bullet tanks are basically king sized propane tanks that are typically 50 foot long and have a circumference of 25 feet or so. that in its self isn't the problem. its the pressure relief valves that rarely get checked in shady places.
