What Is Hoffman Family Gold Episode ‘Emptying The Tank’ About?

Here is what is happening in the upcoming episode of Hoffman Family Gold entitled “Emptying The Tank.” The Hoffman crews are dealing with dropping temperatures. This means pay dirt freezing. That valuable gold is trapped in the ice until the thaw next spring.

Bad Gas Is Shutting Down Both Mines

According to a new Hoffman Family Gold preview shared on Twitter, the crew is dealing with a lot of adversity. Todd Hoffman cannot get his gear started. Andy Spinks comes out to check things out. Turns out, water is getting into the gas. Therefore, there is bad gas.

Todd gets on the walkie-talkie and tells Hunter and the rest of the crews to shut things down. “Guys, kill the machines.” The crew is stunned. Todd continues, “There’s some bad fuel in that machine. Get out of there and park it.”

Subsequently, the crews are frustrated and angry. Discovery has to beep out some choice words, but anyone who has watched Gold Rush understands the frustrations. Fans know that when the season is coming to a close, everything abruptly shuts down.

Therefore, fans understand why Hunter Hoffman is understandably upset. Moreover, the look on his face when he hears his dad say, “Both plants need to shut down now,” is pure frustration. Hunter states the obvious dilemma they are in.

This is the absolutely worst time that this could be happening. Time down is us just not getting gold. And we are in a race against the elements and against the cold. So, we really can’t afford any of this right now.
