Benzine[edit]

Article currently reads in part mistakenly refueled the aircraft with benzine instead of kerosene, is presumed as the possible cause of the accident. Benzine is most commonly used to fuel turboprop-engined aircraft.

What is this benzine? Is there a translation problem here? Andrewa (talk) 09:49, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, it is what is stated in the cited source, as it says, "Instead of kerosene, ground staff fueled the aircraft with regular benzin." Frankly, I did not get with this "benzin" when I first get in touch with the article, so I just rewrite the sentence without changing the wikified information already written by other editors while expanding the article. But you are likely to be correct here, as I just checked the German version and it says the aircraft was refueled with Avgas, which I did not notice until recently. So, it should be Avgas then?

I support it being Aviation fuel or AvGas or anything like that. Also, it should be piston powered aircraft not turboprop powered aircraft since turboprops didnt exist back then. I didn't have much knowledge about aviation either while writing this article. Username006 (talk) 07:14, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
