Ethanol is great. You're helping to save the environment!! :rock:

Ethanol is bad for the economy, bad for consumers and bad for the environment. We all need to look at the whole picture when considering ethanol. There are much better alternatives. Hydrogen so far rules!

Those tanks are gigantic! Is the only way to get inside them by dropping you guys inside?? They better pay you unbelievable money! :o

lol nope no heels...steel toe boots all the way haha

the heat sux but we only get a few real hot days and thankfully we've only had one guy pass out from heat exhaustion.
i just try to stay in the shade as much as possible when it gets real hot

yup i work with some of my family
my mom is the office manager, my dad and brother gary are millwrights and my cousin is a laborer like me.

lol no they dont drop us inside the tanks, there are man holes on each tank, they only fly the equipment inside the tanks like the shafts, anchor chair, hubs and paddles
