the car, Then# second# to determine the rate at which:-the bar Is; loading. is- to .use .the..slip tube' onthe.gauging device. The . gauging slip tube does not extend into the well at. the. bottom of the car/.so when approxi mately 12" Of liquid is, in the ear the slip tube'can be lowered as far as possible and then vented . When liquid appears it is known that, car is filling. Be sure to close 1/4" vent when finished checking.
6. Apply Odorant
a. Open connections.oh odorant drum into the liquid filling line arid supply
the required amount of Ethyl Mercaptan while the caf is filling'. When com
pleted# close off .on odorant, drum and liquid line connections..
NOTE?
Odorant required can be added to L.P.G, at any time# but it is preferably added soon after loading starts# as the odorant becomes well mixed by the agitating action caused by loading the remainder of the car.
b. Methanol is to be added - October 1 to April 30.
7 Filling the Car
a. Grasp the slip tube firmly with one
hand and unlock the hold-down latch with the other hand.
b. Raise the slip tube slowly to about'
the half-way point of the car capacity.

KEY POINTS
g,, Reeheck outage gauge on car with that on R~84 If outage is more than that shown on R-84* open rack valves and bring car up to required gauge. If outage is less than a half Inch of that shown on R-84* notify your super visor.
h. Insert gauge and pressure readings on r-84.
i. Shut down L,,P,,G. pump.
9. Take Temperature of Car
a. Remove thermometer from well and quickly read temperature.
b. Insert temperature on R-84.
NOTEs
The Shipping Department may require a temperature when car is about half full. In such cases take temperature and phone to office..
If the temperature on the car at the half way point is lower
or higher than the Shipping Department used to figure the outage gauge* the contents of
the car will have to be re figured and the outage gauge changed on R-84.
10. Moisture Test
After the car is loaded and depending on customer specifications* it may be re quired to test for moisture by the cobaltbromide method to be sure the product is satisfactorily dry before shipment. If the test shows that the L.P.G. is web* it may often be dried by venting for a
few minutes. If ear remains wet after venting for a reasonable length of time* notify your supervisor.

IMPORTANT STEFS
KEY POINTS
1. General Information Petrox will be injected in all grades of gasoline. The concentration of gaso line in the Petrox may vary from time to time thus the amount of mixture added
to the shipment will vary. (Consult Additive Book and Operating Instructions for latest quantity.)
2. Safety Measures
Since gasoline is mixed with Petrox in varying degrees* it will have a very low "flash point" and high suscepti bility to static generation. It is, therefore3 essential to treat it with the same care in handling as you would
Avjet or gasoline.
3. Prepare to Inject PetroX
a. Set "Stop Meter1' on product riser for desired amount of gasoline.
b. Open 1" block valve on Petrox line (at switch station) to desired riser (north or south side).
c. Turn selector switch on panel to N. or S. to correspond with I" block valve selection.
d. Start Petrox pump by pushing start button.
4. Inject Petrox
a. Start flow of product to truck com partment by pressing down lever on Set Stop meter until it locks.
b. Petrox mixture will flow at a pre set rate into the product until meter reaches the desired quantity to be loaded and shuts off. (Petrox pump will continue to run until
shut down manually.) If further Petrox injection is required in other compartments* move spout to desired compartment^ re-set Stop Meter and press down lever on meter until it locks and flow is resumed

1. General Information All tanks in RP&S tank farm are equipped with automatic remote con trol gauging equipment and ground level reading gauges at each tank.
However* it will be necessary at times to "Hand Gauge" in order to check the automatic equipment. Hand gauging is also required when
receiving foreign crude both by tanker and pipe line* and in special cases on finished products.
2. Definition
The term gauging' Includes the measure ment of the height of the oil surface above the tank bottom* the amount of water at the bottom* and the tempera
ture of the oil.
3. -The Tape
The steel tape used generally is marked in feet* inches and eighths of Inches. It is wound on a hand reel.. A brass plumb bob is fastened with a snap to the bottom of the tape.
4. Inage Gauge
a. Ground body by firmly grasping the steel hand rail or touching the
roof of the tank with the bare hand.
b. Remove gauge hatch slowly and stand to windward* in order to avoid breathing escaping vapors.
c. Wipe tape clean and lower Into
tank until tape gauge lightly touches bottom of tank. The steel
tape should touch the side of the gauge hatch at all times* bo as to avert formation of static electricity*

IMPORTANT STEPS
KEY POINTS
HMMMaiwmaapnPMMHmMnmMMi
1. General information Pump rods on reciprocating pumps and some shafts on centrifugal pumps and mixers pass through packing material
. secured by packing glands much the same as valve stems,
Leaks around the stem or shaft Mill occur as wear on the packing increases.
This must be stopped to prevent waste and a potential source of fire.
To do this, normally, a degree- of snugging up on the packing gland is required.
If this does not stop the leak, re port it to the pumper.
2. Adjust Packing
a. With a suitable wrench or other tool, pull the packing gland snug a thread at a time = till desired
result is obtained*
b. Check operation for 5 minutes by carefully placing bare hand, against packing gland. If un comfortable to the touch, the gland is too tight, causing heating which may result in damage to the parts or may, in extreme cases, cause a fire. If the packing is too tight, loosen the packing aB it was tightened that is, one thread at a time and check for heating as before.

Puget Sound RP&S - Dpeks Pumper Helper A B-20 Slop Oil System
IMPORTANT STEPS
KEY POINTS
1* General Information The 6" slop oil line system is actually a gathering system with many connections and used for many purposes. Sections of
this line are insulated while others are
not, so it is well to remember that if it Is used for the transfer of heavy oils, it muBt be flushed out as soon as
possible after the movement.
The original purpose of this system was
to transfer recovered oil from the Effluent Plant to Tanks 12 & 13 or to the Crude tanks; or from Tank' 12 and 13 to the Slop tanks at the Effluent
Plant,
Two slop pumps (21N-G4 and 21N-G7) are so manifolded that they can take suc tion on the two slop tanks or any one of the three FC Chg. tanks. The dis charge from these pumps terminate at
the crude tanks (via 16" T/n system)
another section extends to the Blending Plant where it branches. One of these extends to the Effluent Plant, the
other terminates at the Receiver Trap at the Dock, (See Slop System Drawing
In RP&S Lines & Manifold Book,)
With the many connections on this line, the operator must be very cautious in
making right of way line-ups.

TT General Information In Puget Sound Plants slop oil is injec ted into the crude suction line in the
100* PAT Just before the 12" crude charge line goes below ground.
Slop is continuously accumulated in tanks 12 & 13 from the units and recovered oil is occasionally transferred to these
tanks from the Effluent Plant,
When sufficient slop has accumulated in one of the tanks (some where between 15* and 22') the water Is to be drawn down from water draw off to Effluent Plant
until oil shows,
2, Prepare to Inject Slop
a. Switch unit stream (4" & 6") into the remaining tank,
bo Gauge tank and record in gauger's hand book,
Co Take 1 average quart from the tank to the Lab, for Grav, & BS&W,

IMPORTANT STEPS
KEY POINTS
1* General Information Spent caustic from the FCCtI Is pumped by them to tank 303 in batches averag ing about 100 bblSe When we have accumulated 6' to f level in this tanks we sample it and the Laboratory runs tests. When results are known and it is approved to ship, the Pumper contacts N.W. Petrochemical people and arranges time and gives them an idea of amount we intend to pump.
There is nearly always a layer of oil on top of the spent caustic which we
take great care not to pump.
2. Safety Precautions
This is a chemical which can be highly Irritating to the .skin and may severely
injure the eye* nn contact. Always wear "`'vher gloves* goggles, and face shield when you are working around this product
such as sampling, bleeding lines, etc.
