Jet A-1 is a kerosine grade of fuel suitable for most turbine engines aircraft. It has a flash point minimum of 38°C (100°F) and a freeze point maximum of -47°C. It is widely available outside the USA. The main specifications are the UK specification DEF STAN 91-91 (Jet A-1) Nato code F-35, (formerly DERD 2494) and the ASTM specification D1655 (Jet A-1). |

|
Shell Racing fuel 100 is a high octane petrol suitable for use in high compression engines. It is used to power modified engines in car and speed boat racing where the octane requirement is above that of conventional petrol grades. AS Racing Fuel 100 contains lead, it's use is strictly controlled by federal regulations. Please consult with your Shell supplier for most up to date eligibility requirements for purchase or alternatively consult the Environment Australia website at www.environment.gov.au.
The RON of Racing Fuel 100 is typically 108. Racing Fuel 100 is dyed blue. |

An alcohol that can be used as an alternative fuel or as a gasoline additive. It is less volatile than gasoline; when blended with gasoline it lowers the carbon monoxide emissions but increases hydrocarbon emissions. Used as pure fuel, its emissions are less ozone-forming that those from gasoline. |

Avgas

|
AvGas is used in small piston engine powered aircraft within the General Aviation community. Predominantly activities such as private pilots, flight training, flying clubs and crop spraying. Piston engines operate using the same basic principles as spark ignition engines of cars, but they have a much higher performance requirement. In today's General Aviation community there are only two main AvGas grades (100 and 100LL low lead) - a rationalisation taht has enabled fuel companies to continue supplying a market that would otherwise have become uneconomic. Worldwide, total AvGas volumes are low, since AvGas fuelled aircraft, although they outnumber jet-fuelled aircraft, are generally much smaller. |
