@HankAmericanEngine - The pump on the tank trailer is turned by a power take off (pto) driven by the truck engine. He shut the truck engine down to stop the pto. One gallon of liquid propane turns into 270 gallons of propane vapor.
You can tell how the fire began, as the driver was not smart enough to tell the workers of the problem, call for help, and worse of all, he started the goldarn truck.
@camhamiltondotnet I understand that. It clears up a lot, but black exhaust usually comes from a truck starting up.
