What dumb operator loads a 1000 lb propane tank to begin with. The tanks are 10 feet long and 6 feet around you would have to be an idiot to load that into the shredder. I also hope whoever checks the loads, the yard manager, the crane operator, the guy in the shredder pulpit were all fired that day. What a bunch of knuckleheads. I had a guy bring in a sample load to the yard I am working at of 500 gallon propane tanks told me they were empty but you could still smell propane and there was still residual in it. The guy said he sells them all the time with just the valve removed. I laughed and said yeah right that is why you are looking for a buyer and the owner kindly said thanks but no thanks and that was the last I saw of that guy. That's still not safe enough and any residual gas can catch fire or in this case explode. Use your head if you have one and think for a minute before cutting into anything that is sealed.
