Poll: Should Congress Legislate Against Lead in Avgas?
1 COMMENT
I read a while back that the world pumps more unleaded fuel in a day than what leaded fuel gets pumped in a year from aviation. And since it’s low lead to begin with, just how much is getting spewed into the atmosphere? Or anywhere else? I would guess that more leaded wheel weights on cars and trucks get thrown off and are a bigger issue than leaded fuel is. Not that I am advocating leaded fuel by any means. I am just comparing the 2, and where the actual bigger problem lies…..
