lentopolttoaineeksi
Lentopolttoaineeksi, often referred to as aviation fuel or avgas, is a specialized petroleum-based fuel used in piston-engine aircraft. Unlike jet fuel, which powers turbines, lentopolttoaineeksi is designed for the specific combustion characteristics of internal combustion engines found in many general aviation aircraft. Its formulation includes a high octane rating to prevent engine knocking or detonation, particularly under the demanding conditions of flight. The octane number is critical for maintaining engine performance and preventing damage.
The production of lentopolttoaineeksi involves refining crude oil and adding specific additives to enhance its properties.
The use of lead, specifically tetraethyllead, as an octane enhancer has been a characteristic of lentopolttoaineeksi
