The article states "a petroleum pipeline operated by Kinder Morgan Energy Partners ruptured, spilling an estimated 1,500 barrels (240 m²) of diesel," but barrels are a measure of volume and square meters are a measure of area. 1500 barrels is roughly equivalent to 176 cubic meters, so it's not clear to me what 240 square meters is referring to, but it's certainly not the volume of diesel spilled (even if we assume the square meters were accidentally written in place of cubic meters). Furthermore it's probably not the area covered by the spilled diesel since that would be a very thick spill, and even in the unlikley event it is intentionally talking about area it shouldn' be written in a manner that suggests a mere unit conversion from barrels.

This had been changed to read 1,500 barrels (176 m³), but when I see something in that form, I assume the second figure is equivalent to the first in the new units, not an indication of the size of the first unit. So I've changed it to read 264,000m³, which is 1500 * 176. Rojomoke ( talk) 16:52, 23 January 2009 (UTC) reply

I have lived in Solano county for 40 years, and NEVER once have I heard anyone refer to the reserve fleet as the "ghost fleet". It has always been and always will be the "Mothball fleet"! I understand the desire of some to remove the ships. However, I think it will be a sad day when they are no longer a part of our county. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.12.163.29 ( talk) 17:31, 27 May 2010 (UTC) reply
