As I said earlier I used to drive a propane delivery truck. This was in ND. It was a cold morning, real cold, like 20 below. I went out the customer, a farmer that had a 1000 gal propane tank on a trailer that he used to fill his tractor. This day it was his Minneapolis Moline U, An old tractor then in the late 1970's, it was his chore tractor that he used to feed his cows. While I was filling the tank he drove up and attached the nurse line to his tractor, strung it across the hood. At 20 below that hose was real stiff, and probably real old. He never shut the U off. He opened the valve. What happened next happened fast, real fast, like 5 or 10 seconds fast. The U's engine roared to life, it started gaing RPM, spinning like crazey, faster that any U ever went before, till the crank broke and sent a rod through the block. I got the truck shut off and valves closed as quick as I could. We were stunned, and cold. In the silence we could hear a leak comming from the nurse line. It was shooting a stream of propane directly into the air inlet.
