    A Colonial Pipeline borders the Northern Edge of Slippy Lodge, hence Colonial has their own lock on our Access Rd. One year they did maintenance on some of the Valves and shut down the flow of whatever is flowing through their pipes.

    One evening my neighbor and I looked down the open valve/hole into the pipeline itself and wondered if SHTF and the flow stopped for good, could we open the valve and siphon off some of what is in the pipe?

    I should research that.

    Anyway, trucks and jeep filled up, tanks of gas and diesel also filled. Maybe something interesting this way comes????

    Slippy, a single line may be dedicated 100% to one product, or most likely this,

    Diesel, avgas, Jet a-b, 100 LL auto, kerosene may be sent in a single large line,

    they put one fuel in right behind the other no pig to separate them.

    The mixed types are bled off and sold to companies who specialize in the mixed stuff.

    Pigs are for cleaning the lines and have special traps to take them out.

    I can't get to fuel one Jeep until tomorrow.

    I値l have to ride by the station out there tomorrow after work I could致e sworn the NG and the gas/diesel/av gas lines all ran through there. Maybe it痴 just affecting the one part. Considering how many power plants run off of NG that would be a worse case scenario even more so than the transportation fuel sector.

    I'm not sure where "there" is, but that lines run through the same area doesn't mean they are all owned by the same company.
    That doesn't mean that the NG companies won't be targeted at another time. I'm expecting the power grid to be targeted in the not too distant future.

    I live, maybe 2 mile from the colonial lines in my area. I知 pretty sure they are all colonial anyway. I know the station I知 speaking of is. Anyway I知 like you. I知 expecting the grid to be hit at any given time. Although this happening makes me think it may not be a direct grid attack but could potentially be an attack on the fuel supply for it.

    We can definitely count on more attacks against our infrastructure, particularly the power grid. Get what you need now, when the lights go out it will get ugly.
