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.

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?

If this ship was going to be refueled by another boat and they needed the room, then yeah I could understand dumping it, but otherwise..........

But! Fuel and water don't mix.

And fuel is seperated before it gets to the service tanks.

So, unless it was detected in the fueling, which they stop immediately when they take fuel samples, how could water and fuel emulsify before it was caught?

Question, isn't JP5 basically hi grade kerosene? Fuck the environment, that was a lot of loot!!! Man, if you had called me I would have tried to come get that shit somehow!!!

Jp 5 is a fuel with a lower flash point than diesel.

We can mix it into our diesel, but we can't mix diesel in with it.

Its basically clean jet fuel.
It has tighter restrictions than regular fuel. We run our through the filters for 4 hours every single day, to ensure our birds don't fall out of the sky.

Well, it's worth a lot of money right?

About 6 years ago I went whale watching off of Vancouver island.

We lucked into a super pod. There must have been 50 orca.

We just shit off the boat and drifted while they swam around us.

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the coolest thing I have ever experienced.

Even got to see a whale boner!

the tour guide says, "kinda humbling eh guys?" I told him, speak for yourself.

And to top it all off, while we're zooming back in a 400hp rhib, 4 cf 18s fly over us in formation.

By far, one of the coolest days in my life!
