    "millions of litres of ethanol on fire"

    Err... is this the same ethanol that all the fuel companies are promising
    they're NOT putting into the petrol?

    It was an insurance job. They had trouble selling it.

    Now there'll be a "bail out Johnny's mate Manildra" surcharge on all
    no-ethanol fuel.

    Gotta look after your mates (especially the big donors to the fucking slimy
    Liberal Party).

    7 Million Litres of the stuff

    This was burning while heating 12 Million Litres of marine fuel & 10 Million
    Litres of heavy crude in the tanks on either side.

    Is it out yet?? Wasn't when I left work

    As Hammo has pointed out, it's actually down here in the 'Gong, but anyway,
    the thing is still buring this morning despite dumping 30,000 litres of
    fire retardent foam on it (subborn little bugger). The firey's arn't so
    worried about the adjoining tanks as much as they were but apparently we
    might go up a level on the water restrictions due to the drowning they're
    giving the steel works......or so they speculated on "Wave FM" this
    morning.
