Consistent units
[edit]The environmental regulation section is very confusing because the units keep shifting. At one point it discusses regulation in terms of µg/m3 then it uses " micrograms per cubic meter". Then it says Santa Monica measures ng/m3. Is there a standard unit of measurement we can use?--RobertGary1 (talk) 21:36, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
- No edit is needed because standard units of measurement are used in the article.
- "µg/m3" and "micrograms per cubic meter" are the same.
- 1000 ng/m3 = 1 µg/m3.

Common in North America?
[edit]According to a recent change, 100LL is "Common in North America, limited availability elsewhere". I have no sources available, but it seems obvious to me that 100LL is as common in Europe as it is in North-America. How to re-phrase? How to reference?

- I added that, as avgas in general is not available in Africa, the Middle East or many other far eastern countries. Finding refs is difficult. There is a list here, but it is far from reliable. Many articles are like this one and just make general statements. I can add Europe. - Ahunt (talk) 13:56, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks, @Ahunt. It is a step forward but I'm afraid there's more to be done. I will however wait a couple of days, in hopes more voices come chiming in; all while pondering my next update. Cheers! Jan olieslagers (talk) 16:45, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
- A definitive statement rally needs a definitive ref. - Ahunt (talk) 17:28, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

B91/115 supplier
[edit]This article, and especially mentions of B91/115, refer to a website www.obr.pl which is however dead. (later addition: it is available, though, as an archive: http://web.archive.org/web/20160904113435/http://www.obr.pl:80/pl-PL/benzyna_lotnicza_b_91115a.html). Neither can I find any trace of such a company. OTOH there does exist a company Warter, who claim on their website to be the world's only supplier of B91/115. Was there a change of name, perhaps?
