Process Essay: Preventing Frozen Gas Lines

Opponents of the use of the pipeline mode to transport fuel claim that it is responsible for numerous deaths that occur annually. The rate of increased accidents is attributable to the fact that as a mode of fuel transportation, minimal oversight, outdated pipes, and insufficient precautions subject

the oil cap and start the engine. Run the engine for 30 seconds or so to circulate the new oil, then

Gas Can: When the roads get icy, don’t get caught without propane or gasoline for your car. Be prepared with a 2-gallon gas can for just $7.99.

turn the fuel petcock to reserve and drain for a second or so. Step four is

Of the all the oil fields throughout Canada, 25% are offshore locations in Newfoundland. 8% comes from either BC or Ontario and 67% of all onshore oil fields are in Alberta, which is defined by the term “Oil Country”. From these locations, pipelines are used to transport liquid oil to refineries. It is at these refineries the process of being turned into gasoline, diesel, and petroleum takes place. After this process, petroleum products are sent to distribution centres.

There are rare and sensitive species of plants in the Tundra and can be harmed due to the treeless plains that cause no obstruction to vehicles patrolling the pipeline. Gravel roads alongside have been built and workers must drive only on these roads and also park there then walk to the pipe.

Smitty's Lawn and Snow LLC recommends that to prevent the water pipes on the outside from bursting as the weather drops below freezing temperatures, homeowners should turn off the valves running from the exterior hose bibs. Rigby Lawn and Snow recommends people keep running the water until the pipes have been emptied. Landscape Rigby also says sprinkler winterization is equally important where, like with the water pipes, all the water gets removes from the sprinkler systems.

There are certain things that the gas stations could do to prevent or stop gas drive offs. The first thing is they could simply tell all their customers to pay prior to pumping fuel (Hoover, 2013.) This move alone would eliminate gas drive offs from the store if they made no exceptions to this rule. They could also install a good camera system that will provide a good description of vehicles, drivers, and that would get a good view of the tag area of the vehicles pulling in and out of the pump areas. By doing this, even if the gas station owner did not want to inconvenience his or her patron’s by making them prepay, this would allow law enforcement to be able to track down the vehicle and driver for theft convictions. The city could ultimately

Jonathan I remember when Hurricane Katrina came in 2005 and the gas stations were wrapped around the building. Some were parked in the street trying to enter into a gas station. I remember actually turning the engine off and sitting for a while before getting close to a pump. Gas was very expensive, but a people didn’t have a choice but wait to get gas. It didn’t do any good to move and go someplace else because everywhere was the same; in fact; a lot of gas stations ran out of gas and had to travel further than what they was use to going. A very sad time in many of our lives.

Imagine you are driving on the icy roads and you lose all control of your car. What happens next? You could slip and slide until you end up in a ditch, or you could even hit another car. How would you solve this problem? Traditional salting of the roads that takes forever to melt the ice? No, you use my product: Superheated Fog Lights.

Drivers lined up at gas pumps in parts of Texas Thursday as more stations ran out of gas and prices rose steeply in response to Hurricane Harvey's impact on Gulf Coast refineries.

As you might have noticed, diesel engines have a harder time starting in cold weather compared to gas engines due to the fact that gas engines have an electrical started system. Gas engines rely on fuel, air and spark to ignite whereas diesel engines rely on heat and compression to initiate spontaneous combustion.

Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel once stated, “No human race is superior; no religious faith inferior. All collective judgements are wrong. Only racists make them.” Imagine being discriminated against for something you couldn’t control; like the way you look or talk, what you believe in or the way you live, how would that make you feel? Now imagine being dehumanized for that something you can’t change. It may sound preposterous, but during the holocaust that’s precisely what happened. The dehumanization of the Jewish midst the Holocaust is vital to learn about because it enlightens us on the unfair bigotry, ghastly living conditions, and how the Jewish had their identity stripped away.

In this day and age, humanity lives in a patriarchal society where it seems as if women are losing the rights to their bodies every day. There are politicians signing away the rights of women who need access to safe abortions, or even just yearly examinations to make sure their bodies are healthy. When a woman makes the decision to have an abortion they are often asked the question, “Well does the father have a say in what happens to his baby?” In Ernest Hemingway’s short story, “Hills Like White Elephants”, it’s a completely different situation because the mother of the child might want the baby while the father doesn’t. The characters “the American” and “Jig” are making a decision that can change their lives completely.

Like many less-informed Saudis, after high school I adopted an already existing paranoia of studying. In 2007, studying in America was kind of a no-no (since) after the events of 9/11. I was exposed to the American culture because of many factors. Therefore, I was unusual in that I had an immediate goal, as many young people around my age (without any) had no such constructive aim. Saudis in 2007, did not want to go abroad, so I was one of few people. It’s only become a (recent) trend recently to study abroad. I had no plan nor a back-up plan as to what I should do on my return (“what after return”,). Perhaps we Saudis never thought about tomorrow (religiously thinking), for a Muslim is never advised to bother to think about tomorrow (like) as (it) is written also in the Bible (the book of Christians). My
