Bung plug extractor and methods for transferring fluid with a pressurized tank

A bung plug extractor system for use in exchanging fluid with a tank, said bung plug extractor system comprising:

• a bung plug configured to sealingly couple to a tank port;
• a bung extractor casing comprising:
• a first end configured to removably couple to the tank port;
• a second end opposite said first end;
• a hose connector configured to removably couple to a hose;
• and
• a channel defined between said first end and said hose connector;
• and
• a bung extractor coupled to said extractor casing second end, said bung extractor comprises a tip portion configured to releasably engage said bung plug, said bung extractor is operable to selectively uncouple said bung plug from the tank port such that a sealed flow path is formed through the tank port and said channel.

A method of exchanging fluid with a tank, said method comprising:

• coupling a first end of a bung extractor casing to a tank port, wherein a bung plug remains sealingly coupled to the tank port as the first end is coupled thereto, and wherein the extractor casing comprises a second end opposite the first end, a hose connector, and a channel defined between the first end and the hose connector;
• extending a bung extractor through the channel and through the extractor casing first end, wherein the bung extractor is extendably coupled to the extractor casing second end;
• releasably engaging the bung plug with a tip portion of the bung extractor;
• uncoupling the bung plug from the tank port using the bung extractor such that a sealed flow path is formed through the tank port and the channel;
• and
• exchanging fluid with the tank through the sealed flow path.
