Correction:
AvGas is high octane, low vapor point gasoline. It can be burned in your gas powered car, but can cause a fire or explode in your burner. AvGas does contain lead, so it is illegal use on road and can reap havock on your catalytic converter.

Jet Fuel or Jet-A is highly refined kerosene blend. It can be burned in your burner, but not in your car.
