depends on the type of aviation fuel, need more info
100 octane. This is why aviation fuel (avgas) is typically called 100LL, which stands for 100 octane, low lead.
Avgas (Aviation Gas). It's a high octane petroleum based fuel that is also used in racecars.
20000 kgs divided by 0.86 gives 23255.813 m3 of aviation fuel. 23255.813 multiplied by 1000 to convert m3 to litres, gives 23,255,813 litres of fuel.
It depends on the type of aviation fuel that you are talking about though the SG (specific gravity) of AVCAT+FSII is around 0.8200 - 0.8400 Kg/L. So the SG of water is 1.000Kg/L therefore if water is 1kg/L AVCAT is 0.82Kg/l. Another example ist he JET A1 with a density of 0.804 g/cm3.
their really is not a specific fuel octane mix. if you just run premium in it, it will be fine, but if you do put octane in, just put a little bit in it. because it could make your fuel too rich and foul out your spark plugs.
No , Aviation fuel uses a higher octane fuel than does automotive applications and has properties that help prevent icing and explosions .
with an octane mesurer
The octane number is a measure of performance of a fuel. It is measured relative to pure isooctane which is given an arbitrary value of 100. It is possible for fuels to have an octane number higher than 100. The higher the octane number the more compression it takes for the fuel to detonate. Higher octane fuel is used usually in high performance vehicles where the engines have higher compression ratios. If the octane number of a fuel isn't high enough it can lead to engine knocking this is where the fuel detonates before the fuel is at its maximum compressive state in the engine, this can cause damage and lower performance.
6.7something depending on atmospheric pressure (colder / higher pressure air, SG gets higher) Avgas 100LL is about 6.0 pounds per gallon at about 60 degrees F. And at sealevel.
Jet fuel, literally <><><> Depends on the plane. Jet aircraft DO use jet fuel, which is mainly very pure kerosene. Piston engined aircraft use AVGAS- or Aviation gasoline- a high octane form of gasoline.
