Slice, the boats are not too small for harpoons. But, they're the hand held kind.

Yea I would. We pumped 21000 gallons of JP5 overboard because it had some water in it.

Wow. With our laws. I'd tell the EO to go fuck himself before I would put a drop of wd 40 into the water.


We're trained in the proper handling and disposal of hazardous waste before we evern set foot on board.

If you knowingly release ods or pol you can be fined up to a million dollars.

Oh, true story.
We lost 200 litres of distillate over the side. It was due to a faulty valve. The upper deck engineer almost went to jail over it.

20000 gallons? You'd pick up a spill that size from satellite.

Um, how about simply holding on to it until you port?

They live in northern canada. Summer is a sunshower in July, and theyve been living that way for a few hundred years. Brave, tough, uneducated natives.

Slice.. Fuel is run through coalescers. It seperates the water from the fuel.


It has to be run through these coalescers before it is allowed to be run in the engines.

So, if they have to run it through a water seperator before it goes to where it needs to be. Why dump it?


And, if water got into your JP5, (jet propellant 5) you have some serious issues.

Like a compromised tank..

I could go on all day on why fuel mixed with water wouldn't be dumped.

But, he may have just had a dumb ass co..

Also, what did you guys do with the rest of your fuel?

There is a lot of condensation in fuel tanks. Which is why we run them through water seperators. Did you dump distillate too?
