Hairy moment for sure

Caused by stretched return springs on n/s/r had a drum break up and caused brakes to run over cam stretching springs, only drum and shoes replaced slight bind on brake alloy wheel plenty of heat and pop goes tyre, red hot drum up goes the tyre and the rest is toast.

ADR videos are about 80yrs old on the course I was on

Safety of the tanks themselves have come on loads
Vapour tightness every two years
Hydraulic test every six years filled with water and pumped right up
High level fill probes bla bla

Jobs ok be better if I wasn't a contract driver only downside is joe public they can be a proper pain in the arse on forecourts etc but nice sunny days can make the difference
