Some types of fuel are suitable for piston-engine aircraft, and some are not. The types include:
•AVGAS 100 – aviation gasoline, coloured green, normally used in aircraft piston engines,
•AVGAS 100LL (low lead) –a suitable alternative to AVGAS, coloured blue,
•MOGAS – coloured red, and unsuitable for use in aircraft.
•AVTUR – jet fuel, which is clear or straw-coloured, and will damage an aircraft piston engine.
Octane rating
This refers to the resistance of the fuel to detonation. The higher the octane rating, the more the fuel-air mixture can be compressed and heated without detonating.

1. 100 LL – Aviation gasoline, coloured green, normally used in aircraft piston engines, This also comes in blue colour but mixing of both grades is prohibbitted. This is normally used in Piston Engine Aircraft.
2. JP-1, JP-4, JP-8 – Jet fuel, which is clear or straw coloured, and will damage an aircraft piston engine. This is used in Turbine Engines and Jet engines including Turbo Prop, Turbo Jet, and Turbo Fan. This Fuel is also known as AVTUR.
Octane rating
This refers to the resistance of the fuel to detonation. The higher the octane rating, the more the fuel-air mixture can be compressed and heated without detonating. But for this Spark is required.
JP Rating
Now a days maximum companies are converting to the use of JP-8 as it gives good profermance with less problems.

The answer depends on what engine is the in the aircraft!
There are now diesel engines which can burn several different fuels.
The normal fuel for General Aviation is AvGas (100 low lead) similar to normal gas but has major differences
The normal fuel for Jets (even airliners) is JetA (similar to kerosene)
There are other options including some auto gas ones.
So the answer still depends on what engine is in the aircraft.

Most piston aircraft use Petrol (100 octane Low Lead is the most common). Jets burn diesel fuel.

Actually it depends on the aircraft:
Cessna 172 - 110 Low Lead
Turbine or Jet engines Jet A (also known as kerosene)
Some aircraft actually do run on diesel, but very few.

110 AV Gasoline.
Jet Fuel..very much like Kerosene.
It's all expensive as heck.
Some airplanes can run on ATC and, I suspect, somewhere up there a plane can run on diesel.

It is mainly Aviation Turbine Fuel 100 Octane
tankers marked as ATF .

Yes it is called aviation fuel and i love the smell of it when it is burnt do you know the smell that you get at airports

it is actually called airplane fuel, or aviation fuel it has a very high octane rating, and a lot more flammable than car fuel.
