Why wouldn't this have protective equipment or relaying to take it offline and shut it down before it destroys itself?

Everything did what it was supposed to do but there must have been too much fuel left in the line. Now what they are saying, they suspect one of the mechanics that rebuild the fuel pumps did something wrong

Yeah its a pain in the ass when your on call and in the middle of the night they call you in........."uh, somethings wrong with this separator/pump etc....!" Come to find out they don't know how to operate the damn thing properly.

I work for a power company...we usually just blame the enginerds when stuff like this happens. "I guess that relaying wasn't good enough after all, that CB wasn't fast enough, that relaying was coordinated well enough"....'damn engineers!" Just kidding before all the engineers jump my "stuff".

OMG! Operators!!!!! In the middle of the night they will call you and say,

POS - "We had a operation on a feeder"

Me - O. K., are there any customers calling in and complaining about no power?

POS - "uh, No"

Me - WHY THE HELL DID YOU CALL ME THEN??!!!

POS - "Uh, just to let you know."

And then you cant fall back to sleep.

well we have a small maintenance crew there 24/7, so we don't get called out unless something is REALLY wrong. Which is nice. BUT if we do, you can be assured, the FRESH FERTILIZER HAS HIT THE ROTARY OSCILATOR!!

What kind of cold air intake do they have, roto fab? blamming the operator is like how they always say pilot error. They are just machines.

Awesome thanks for the pictures, I learned something new today
