Aviation fuel is a term often used interchangeably with jet fuel but can also refer to aviation-grade gasoline used for general aviation, piston propeller engines, microlights and sports aircraft, for example.

Known as AVGAS, this spark-ignited fuel has a much lower flashpoint than jet fuel and a much higher octane rating than the petrol used in road vehicles.

Aviation fuels are specialised types of petroleum-based fuel used to power aircraft. They are refined to a higher specification under greater quality control than fuels used in less critical applications, such as heating or road transport and often contain additives to reduce the risk of liquid fuel icing at low temperatures or the explosion of fuel vapour at high temperatures.
