Avgas

Avgas is the type of aviation fuel used in small piston engine powered aircraft within the general aviation community. These aircraft are predominantly used by private pilots and flying clubs and for tasks such as flight training and crop dusting. Piston engines operate using the same basic principles as the spark ignition engines found in cars, but they have a much higher performance requirement.
 

Avgas 100LL

This grade is the low-lead version of Avgas 100. This grade is listed in the same specifications as Avgas 100, namely ASTM D910 and UK DEF STAN 91-090. Avgas 100LL is dyed blue.

Where can I buy avgas?  
Shell supplies avgas, and other aviation fuels, to companies operating in airports around the globe. Find the nearest place to refuel your aircraft.
 
How much does avgas cost?  
The price of avgas varies between countries. Local supply logistics can have a big impact on cost, such as in Pacific Islands that have a longer and more complex supply route compared to inland USA. Local government taxes and duty can also affect price – for example, they are applied in the UK but not the USA.
 
What do avgas colours mean?  
Each grade of avgas is dyed a different colour to make it easier to identify. For example, Avgas 100 is green and Avgas 100LL is blue.
 
Can mogas be used instead of avgas?  
It is not legal to use mogas (motor gasoline) instead of avgas for most aircraft pilots. Some private pilots can use mogas but we would not recommend this.
 
What is the difference between avgas and jet fuel?  
Avgas is fuel for small piston engine powered aircraft, while jet fuel is more like kerosene and is used to power turbine engine aircraft.
