At my plant we off-load a chemical that must be maintained above 300Degrees F to remain liquid. For safety reasons it is unloaded through a dip pipe mounted on the top manway of the tanker using nitrogen to pressure the tanker and force the product up the dip pipe to tank storage. You can not hardly tell the difference between a tanker being loaded or unloaded. I have the Walthers loading/ unloading kit on my layout. I use the plastic stir stix for piping. I have a couple of tanks that I've "insulated" with the shiny muffler repair tape from Wal-Mart. It is an excellent representation of the thin metal sheet covering the insulation on storage tanks. I don't remember where I found the pumps mounted on a base with the eledtric drive motor, but they are a deadringer for the Goulds pumps we used for transfer. I have two transfer stations where piping comes together and hoses are used to connect the various process, holding, & storage tanks. I also use the plastruct valves mentioned earlier.
