Abstract
An anhydrous ammonia distribution system includes a portable nurse tank 12 powered by an operator cab 13.

Pressure gauge 32, 34 is provided for monitoring pressure at one or more distributors, and a camera 42 positioned within enclosure 40 transmits a reading from the pressure gauge to the operator cab, thereby alerting the operator to a malfunction in the delivery system.
