Maybe there was some oil or dust in the valve that ignited when the fast

Drain down the tank and fill with water.

But Martin, that's the whole thesis of this accident review... He COULDN'T
drain down the tank. The valve was either frozen or broken -- so he
intended to just loosen the fitting, and let the tank drain that way.
And that's a big mistake.
In the Navy, if a tank top was damaged in any way whatsoever, the whole tank
got AXED in our guillotine "tank disposer-of-er". Cam Rahn Bay got its
share of empty tanks with no valves...
Now, the military is a lot more cavalier about throwing away money than a
civvy company would be, but in this case, they should have a policy in place
to waste a little to save a lot.

$4.00, if you buy 2000lb at a load. (you'd need a right-stout shooting club
to do that, though)
