Title: Er..Amerex discharge...
Post by: Psuedonym on May 31, 2012, 06:43:49 PM
Guess who's just witnessed a discharge of a 3 tank KP375? Go on. Guess.............  :'( :'( :'(    What a bloody mess. I'd reset the system and was clearing away my kit when..minutes later. Click..11.25 gallons of pink mist...

Oh dear.. or words to that effect.

Not related to revious post, that (post) was due to a faulty KP375 MRM which needed a bit of tampering so I thought a bit of playing in the workshop would help the guys.

This (discharge) was on a different site where there were no issues with the system, or so I thought for a few blissfull moments.

Ouch, not as expensive as an extinguishing gas, but a few quids worth all the same...

Apparently one of the lads discharged a single tank R102 last week on a destroyer. Whoops.

He cleared up, refilled it and, unbelievably, set it off again.

I don't think he'd heard of lock out bars  ::)  :-X
