Aviation gasoline
A high octane non-leaded gasoline meeting ASTM D910 LL standard is provided that includes a base gasoline fuel having a minimum MON of 96.5 and meeting the ASTM D910 standard. An octane-boosting component is mixed with the base gasoline fuel that raises the MON above 99.6 and the blended fuel complies with ASTM D910. The octane-boosting component is selected from a group including an additive, TEL only and a TEL containing gasoline.
1. An aviation gasoline fuel comprising:
a base gasoline fuel having a minimum MON of 96.5 and complying with all requirements of ASTM D910 standard;
a first octane-boosting component mixed with the base gasoline fuel, wherein the first octane-boosting component is meta-toluidine in an amount of from about 1.5 volume percent to about 1.75 volume percent; and
a second octane-boosting component mixed with the base gasoline fuel, wherein the second octane-boosting component is ferrocene in an amount of from about 0.025 to about 0.2 grams per gallon of the aviation gasoline fuels
wherein the resulting aviation gasoline fuel has a MON greater than 100.
2. The aviation fuel of claim 1 further comprising octane-boosting TEL.
3. The aviation fuel of claim 1 wherein the resulting aviation gasoline fuel is an ultra-low leaded gasoline aviation fuel.
4. The aviation fuel of claim 1 further comprising a leaded aviation fuel.
5. The aviation fuel of claim 4 wherein the leaded aviation fuel is Grade 100LL or Grade 100VLL leaded gasoline fuel.
6. The aviation fuel of claim 1 further comprising an octane-boosting 100LL aviation fuel.
7. The aviation fuel of claim 1 wherein the base gasoline fuel comprises, by volume, 50-70% iso-octane, 8-14% isopentane, 0-26% toluene, 0-26% m-xylene, and iso-butane.
