Doesnt work for me either way. http://powerlink.powerstream.net . This says I dont have credentials to view. I would like to see it as I am a process operator at a petrochemical plant. I have been doing research on diesel runaway caused by hydrocarbon releases. Seems like alot of plant explosions are set off by idling diesel equipment. Cant find any plants in Texas that require a positive air flow cut off.

I work for a pretty big natural gas producer up here and we require all diesel engines to have positive air shut offs on them. I'm sure there are a few that don't but the regulation is there.

I have been searching hard for info. All I find is Canada, offshore and down in mines requiring the device. From what I have researched Bp and Formosa to name a few plants here lately in Texas had releases that were set off by a diesel engine that wouldnt turn off. There was a thread on diesel runaway on here a few months ago. Pretty interesting.
