They probably translated to metric units for foreign audiences. I think they should have translated to dollars. That makes it clear why the pipeline company should have been more diligent in their maintenance. At $3.00 per gallon they lost $900,000 in fuel, and will incur the costs to clean it up and fix the pipeline. And maybe fines for environmental damage.
The leak is going to end up costing over 1 million dollars.
That’s about 850 trips across the US in a Mac truck!
I recently saw a documentary about Mr. Diesel the other day and his struggles to perfect the engine and to get it accepted. Not bad.
“A severely corroded pipeline ruptured...”
BS..I wonder who the government operatives were? Maybe the same who instigated 1/6 follies.
INSANITY.........
Where’s Lootie when he’s really needed?
The usual sensationalist garbage headlines from the Nazis at AP.
Ask these pigs why they used gallons instead of barrels.
Headline: Pipeline spills 300,000 gallons of diesel near New Orleans.
Because 300,000 sounds like a BIG spill. Let’s change the gallons into quarts: Pipeline spills 1,441,139.91 quarts of diesel near New Orleans.
So, why not use quarts, AP?
Because people would recognize the absurdity.
Dry cleaning solvent evaporates a lot faster than diesel fuel. It’s also not flammable. Perchloroethylene is what is usually used as dry cleaning solvent. You can still buy it in an aerosol can in some places as chlorinated brake parts cleaner.
How is the swamp suppose to work when 100% of them were on covid paid leave and working to eliminate the Orange Menace.
