minus-square@mipadaitulinkEnglish12•1 month agoInteresting that the main problem is that there’s too many kinds of lead free avgas, and they don’t always mix well. It feels like this needs to be a rip the bandaid off situation. Just declare that on 1 Jan, 2026, no lead can be sold premixed in any gas, anywhere. It’s not the biggest problem in the world, but lead should absolutely not be released into the air around us.
