VACUUM STINGER DEVICE

The invention consists of a system and method for removing sediments from a tank containing fluid. The system consists of a primary tube that can be inserted through a valve i n the tank below the top of the accumulated sediment. A second tube, fitted inside the primary tube, delivers water to the intake end of the primary tube, causing the sediment in the vicinity of the intake to liquefy and flow from the tank, through the primary tube and into a vehicle to transport the sediment to a disposal facility. Integral to the tool is a mechanical drive system to move the primary tube in and out of the tank in order to access the majority of the sediment accumulated in the tank . This entire system is installed on the sand transport vehicle, thus eliminating the need for other equipment on the tank location.
