Tanker Implosion

[Teken]

Every time I think I’ve seen everything. I am proven completely wrong as to what can happen and be captured by video security.

I can honestly say this sort of mini implosion has been seen in my own plastic gas cans after use and storage.

I’m not too sure what chemical reaction is happening with the air, fuel, and sealed container even after washing the entire vessel out with water?!?

Regardless, I’ve never seen this happen to vehicle tanker!!

If anyone knows the science behind this please do let me know! As I am sure there are millions of these vehicles large and small completely empty and they have never self imploded?!?

AHHH Math and Science working together!

It LOOKS LIKE THE TANK IS ABOUT 6 FOOT IN DIAMETER. So the ,
area of the end of the tank is about 28 feet or 4032 square inches.
The vehicle looks like a "Honey Pot" (sewage cleaner).
Anything that will cause a loss than atmospheric pressure may
cause a collapse. A spark during disconnect of the plastic tube can
burn the H2S on the inside of the tank. The content could have been "hot"
when dumped, then chilled.

Going back to the 4070 square inches, with a pressure differential of only 10 P.S.I.
would equal 40,700 pounds of pressure on the end caps!

Looks like somebody forgot to turn off the suction pump when finished cleaning the septic tank. That's my guess anyway. I could be wrong.
