This "bouchon" again :-) (See previous query http://www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_english/petroleum_eng_sc...
For this query I have a definition in French, and the picture is perfectly clear, but I could do with guidance as to how it should be rendered in English:
- *BOUCHON DE CARBURÉACTEUR*
Faible volume de carburéacteur, intercalé entre deux cargaisons de gazole / fioul domestique et de supercarburant pour éviter qu'elles soient en contact direct.
Ce bouchon mélangé aux produits d'encadrement est soutiré dans les terminaux du transporteur.
I find no Google hits for the French term as it stands, so I wonder if it's more of an in-house expression than something industry-standard.

Hehe I got hooked into this search :)
I think the general word you're looking for is 'slug', it looks like that's what they use in the industry, for all sorts of liquids/gases/mixtures.

Note from asker:
| Thank you - this sounds good, though I should perhaps point out that I'm familiar with carburéacteur :-) It's the occurrence of "bouchon" in numerous contexts that I am having to stop and think about. There may be more yet, not just the two I've asked about so far ... |
