Gotta throw the b.s. flag on that, relative is an engineer "in the business" and explained how the oil is sent in measured slugs, water between slugs, and the size of each slug is known and transmitted to the receiving end. When somebody's slug is short, they immediately know they have a problem, usually even before receiving the slug they would see a pressure drop. The valve timing at the receiving end has to be very precise to separate the slugs. "This is Joey's oil, goes into that tank. Next is Bob's oil, goes into this tank" 24 / 7 operation, somebody (usually many somebody's) are there ALL the time, making sure the oil goes to the right place. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300
