00:00Yeah, so unfortunately when we were running the 48 through, it didn't pass the minimum weight specs.
00:09So we pulled the car off to the side and we allowed them to fuel it, which they already did.
00:15We let them fuel it again, we let them run the pumps to make sure all the pickup boxes were full.
00:21We give the teams every opportunity to try to meet the minimum weight.
00:26We also let them plug in the water and run the water through the system to make sure they're full of water.
00:31And then we rescaled it, it still didn't meet the weight.
00:36We backed it off and we run it across one more time just to confirm the weights were accurate.
00:42And unfortunately, it did not meet the minimum weight.
00:45They are allowed a half a percent of a weight break, which is about 17 pounds, give or take.
00:51That is what they're allowed and it was more than that.
