[edit] War at night

In England, the PLUTO pipelines were supplied by a 1,000 mile network
of pipelines built during the war at night to distribute fuel from
ports including Liverpool and Bristol.

Were they built at night or used at night?

[edit] Acronym

Is it really "Pipelines" and "Oceans" or are either singular? Rich Farmbrough 09:23, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Pipeline Under The Ocean is also the second album by New Zealand band Pluto.

[edit] Units of measurement

Some measurements in this article are given as 'Mg/km' and 'Mg'. I assume Mg is meant to be Mega-grammes? It's a very unusual usage - SI unit of mass is the kilogramme (kg).

Yes I also noticed that. There is also an inconsistancy in whether imperial or metric units are given priority. I can understand the use of nautical miles in this case as it is acceptable for use in SI. However the use of inches, long tons and miles in the same article that talks about km and litres as the main unit seems a bit messy. Surely we can stick with SI units here (does anyone actually think in long tons?) Zarboki 17:56, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
