Thank you, Lara. I give up. :)
Lara Barnett Feb 25, 2011:
There are various dictionary references concerning oil to the phrase "blow out", signifying explosions or sudden loss of gas and oil.

http://www.definitions.net/definition/blow out

And then there is "blow off pressure", I assume both of these are irrelevant?

blow-off pressure = The point at which the internal pressure of a pneumatic system triggers a relief valve. Also called the cracking pressure.

I know, I know. It is obviously a bad translation and if it does not make sense to you, as a native, imagine how much sense it makes to me! :) But if we add one letter here and there, as Roxana did, it sometimes makes sense, IF your guess is the right one. LOL But key, it is still better than Chinglish, when you never know if you are talking about a bed, an airplane or a house. :)

Translation I think this text has been badly translated from another language into English. There are so many grammatical errors and misplaced words that some of the English does not make much sense, or needs to be restructured. As a native English speaker, I can confirm that this phrase makes absolutely no sense either in or out of the context: "and this by transfer liquid crude oil that resulting of process to other tanks gradually or at on blow".

Nu stiu... Se poate. De asta am postat, pentru ca pana acum am tot 'ghicit' sensuri... :)
