New mocs (FINISHED)
JoJoDapyro:
We also applied salt brine to roads prior to storms. We made sprayers for trucks with 1600 gallon tanks. We used "baffle balls" to stop the surge. In a 1600 gallon tank they only displaced 10 gallons. Perhaps something to look into.

Thanks Josh, you don't have to do that just for me. I've just always wanted a pair. Would like to hint in them to. Have you ever tried elephant for the soles? That stuff is tougher than nails. I get it at springfield leather here in springfield MO. If your ever through here holler at me. I would love to meet up and go to the leather shop anytime. I always tell my buddy I could go broke just to go buy a couple of pieces out of their scrap bin. I would leave with a truck load! Patrick
Josh B:
Joe...I appreciate the suggestion. Unfortunately the reason we pull unbaffled tanks is so that we can be absolutely sure that every vestige of prior product is cleaned from the tank in order to prevent contamination with the next product to be loaded. Baffles of any sort make absolute sanitation impossible. I just do like Johnny Cash sang and get a rhythm! You get a feel for the surge after awhile and learn how to use the throttle to calm it down. Unfortunately the automatic tranny only operates reactively as opposed to proactively which makes that difficult.
Patrick...I've never used elephant hide. That ought to be tough stuff. I may take you up on the offer to go to the leathershop some day. There's not one anywhere near where I live. Although that's probably a good thing. Lol!
Thanks again fellas! I'll get back on this project next week. Josh

No problem Josh, just let me know when you are in town and if they are open that day we will do just that! Patrick
JoJoDapyro:
Some products we used had to be transported unbaffled as well. Asphalt products develop "Scum Cap" that clogs the pups.
