What does aviation fuel look like?

-links of a photo or something? doing a group presentation on it.. want to know how it looks... so i can make a fake sample and say its aviation fuel..Fuel for aviation is color coded so you can easily tell if it is correct. For piston aircraft the gasoline is commonly referred to as AVGAS and there is a couple different types. 80, 100, and 100LL (Low Lead). They are Red, Green, and Blue respectively. Jet Fuel also has a few different types: JET-A, JET-A1, and JET-B but are all relatively close to the same color; which is commonly referred to as straw colored, or clear.



The AVGAS is very similar to what everyone one uses in their car. 100LL is the most common, and the main difference between it and what you put in your car is a slightly higher octane, and the addition of tetra-ethyl lead (TEL) a toxic substance used to enhance combustion stability.



Jet fuel is kerosene based. The main differences between A, A1, and B is the freezing points. JET-A or JET-A1 are the more common types.



There's a link below with the colors of fuel. (The blue is usually a little lighter color than it shows.) Hope this helps.
100LL Avgas used in piston aircraft engines is very much like unleaded gas that cars use and it is dyed pale blue. Jet fuel is very similar to automotive diesel fuel and it has a light straw color.
Reddish, bluish, yellowish, and not very tasty...
