There should be something about the debate over the lack of taxes on aviation fuel and the pollution and distorted prices it causes. ROGNNTUDJUU! 12:19, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
From our talk pages:
Hello, Mr Shearer,
I am reading Convoy HX-106, which I see you created, and I note the use of "aviation spirit". Am I correct in believing this to be aviation fuel? Before I linked it I wanted to be sure.
Thank you,

In the early days of the jet age, it was discovered that jet fuel acts as a solvent of petroleum-based runway surfaces (asphault, &c). As a result, aircraft fueling was soon restricted to a few designated areas, to reduce damage to runways and taxiways (apparently, it was done wherever convenient in the prop days). I would add this to the "safety" section but I do not know if it still obtains. Can another reader familiar with modern air ops let me know if jet fuel spills are still a concern for runway damage? (in addition to the environmental issues, of course). 165.91.64.244 ( talk)RKH —Preceding undated comment was added at 08:44, 12 December 2008 (UTC).
Engines like the Radne and Vittorazi can probably be made to function on ethanol. Mention this in article. See here KVDP ( talk) 08:23, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
ASTM itself identifies its standards with no space between the letter and numbers (for example, ASTM D910). Even the page ASTM International identifies a page without the superfluous space. I realize that it is fairly common usage to insert a space. But the space contributes nothing to readability or clarity. I think that the nomenclature by which an organization identifies its own standards should prevail. 75.208.197.7 ( talk) 00:05, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
