Describe the types of fuel used in aviation.

Description should include the following:

The types of fuel that an aircraft may use and how to identify them as well as fuel practices.
Aviation gasoline (AVGAS) is identified by an octane or performance number (grade), which designates the antiknock value or knock resistance of the fuel mixture in the engine cylinder.
The higher the grade of gasoline, the more pressure the fuel can withstand without detonating.
If the proper grade of fuel is not available, use the next higher grade as a substitute. Never use a grade lower than recommended.
Care must be exercised to ensure that the correct aviation grade is being used for the specific type of engine.
In addition to fuel color, the color-coding system extends to decals and various airport fuel-handling equipment.
