About 50 firefighting vehicles are fighting the blaze at height, Fire Rescue #Victoria assistant chief fire officer Mick McGuiness said.

“Fire has broken out in a section of the refinery called the #Mogas plant, there have been several small #explosions, a 30 metre by 30 metre fire with flame heights extending 50 to 60 metres.” #auspol #FuelShortages

@corsac @theUnrequited They are the normal O-320 and O-360 engines. Many (if not most) of the low-compression #Lycoming and #Continental engine installations have an #STC for #autogas.
They were originally designed for #AVGAS 80/87 so require 87 MON (Motor #Octane Number, used for aviation engines) at full rich mixture. SuperPlus, a common "high octane" fuel in Europe) has a RON (Research Octane Number) of 98, and a MON of 88, so can be used safely.

@netaviator @sophie 3,63€? 🤯 Ich war gerade in Rendsburg, da gibt's den Liter für schlanke 2,24€⛽ , aber dafür gar kein mogas. Leer-Papenburg ist auch beliebter Tank-Zwischenstopp für Inselflieger mit 100LL für 2,49€/L und mogas für 2,10€ (und dann ohne Landegebühr).
