FUTURE OF FOSSIL FUELS IN HERITAGE MACHINERY
The University of Canberra and Engineers Australia are conducting a survey on current and future use of fossil fuels and lubricants in operating heritage machines.
Fossil Fuels keep our heritage machines working so whether you are a private owner, a small museum or a government funded institution, we are keen to know what types of fuels and lubricants your machines use and how you might prepare for a potential phasing out of fossil fuels. We are interested in historic motor vehicles, steam, aviation, maritime, farm and industrial equipment, early electric machines, and any other old machines that you keep in working order.
Help us prepare for the future of operating heritage by participating in our survey here: https://uoc.syd1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eYdZYPxnUunYd3o
