Where to buy jet fuel?

Way to step around the point, there. Always easier to point out the
silly things in someone *else's* culture, ain't it?

 

And what other culture would that be?

 

Does ferret-legging count?

Correct..."aviation kerosene"...

 

110-120?

Airport I worked at only had 103.

 

"Green" avgas is 100-130, fairly common.

"Purple" avgas is 115-145, in very limited distribution for decades,
usually only found on MIL fields.

 

Pretty much the *only* piston aviation fuel available in the last decade
in the United States has been blue 100LL. The LL is for 'low lead' and
is only considered low lead in relation to the earlier aviation fuels.
When I started flying in the early '90s, 80 octane aviation fuel was
available but it is long since gone (and 80 octane was green).

The U.S. Air Force hasn't had a piston powered plane in decades (True for
the Army and Navy, AFAIK), so I doubt you would find 115-145 on any
military field.

 

You'll find "purple" 115-145 where you find warbirds.

80/87 octane is "red".

Show me *any* active military base that has piston warbirds operating
on a regular enough basis to warrent storing 115-145.

BTW, the museums I have worked with (mostly Evergreen Aviation in
McMinnville, OR and the Warhawk Museum in Nampa, ID), fly their
warbirds on 100LL with a much reduced manifold pressure. 115-145 in
sufficient quanities to fuel four Wright R-1820s (B-17) for any
significant time is cost prohibitive.

Oops, my mistake. I stand corrected.

 

Numerous military and civil airports in North America, Caribbean,
Central America and Europe carry NATO F-22 and EEFC "BA" spec gasolines
(same as MIL-L-5572F "purple").

Reno/Stead, for testing and for the air races, among others.

If it is 115/145 "racing gasoline" you want, Chevron, Valero, Sunoco,
Union and VP produce it (or similar, as well as oxygenated fuels) and
retail it by the jug and barrel.

No problem. I should have also noted that the modern day "purple" is
the 82 octane ultra low lead avgas.
