Material Metrology & Physical Properties: Avgas 100LL
Aviation Gasoline 100LL (Low Lead) is a high-octane spark-ignition fuel formulated specifically for high-performance reciprocating piston aircraft engines. Under ASTM D910, Avgas 100LL has a reference physical density of 0.7200 kg/L (6.009 lbs per US gallon) at 15°C (59°F), making it significantly lighter than commercial jet fuel.
In general aviation flight planning, pilots routinely compute weight and balance calculations where standard Avgas is estimated at exactly **6.0 pounds per US gallon (0.720 kg/L)**. Overloading a four-seat general aviation aircraft (such as a Cessna 172 or Piper Cherokee) beyond maximum gross weight degrades climb gradients and increases stall speeds.
Avgas is dyed blue to prevent misfueling into jet aircraft, which would suffer catastrophic in-flight engine flameouts if reciprocating fuel were loaded into turbine engines.
Extremely flammable liquid (flash point approx. -40°C). Contains tetraethyl lead (TEL) toxic additive; avoid skin contact, inhalation of vapors, and combustion exhaust fumes.
