Fuel differences (Split from the Oxford Incident thread)

Why is that wrong? Avgas is considerably more inflammable than petrol - hence the extra precautions when refuelling. It has a lower flashpoint and autoignition point than car petrol. We were warned of its especially hazardous nature compared with Diesel, petrol and Avtur/ Jet A1 when doing our airfield firefighting course.
