I have an equation. Burn time = the number of flammable objects within close proximity squared. in conclusion, it burns damn quick.


not disagreeing with you but, high octane gasoline burns slower than low octane gasoline. The slow burn prevents engine knock when
cylinder pressures are high.....   :salute :cheers:

     That will make me feel alot better the next time my cartoon airplane catches fire  :D  Other than the Storch, don't most of the birds
in game use 100/130 or higher octane?  Heck some could use 115/145!  Ok, technically you can't have more than 100% iso-octane, so those
would be performance numbers instead of percentages :aok

100LL and the fumes from 100LL are highly flammable (much like Tracefi's posts). I can see, the fumes especially, coming in contact with flames being very devastating in an explosive way.

Some jet fuels on the other hand, not so much. I have heard of people dropping lit cagarettes into a tank of jet fuel without setting it off (it was done as a demonstration).

it would still get you in the air.  But your engine would not like it.

no the older aircraft can run av gas and auto gas.  It all goes boom in the right place at the right time but I would not do it unless my life depended on it.
