does burnt 110 basically smell the same as burnt nitro fuel? is that the same stuff? cause we used to use that stuff in our RC cars and the smell of the fuel became addicting

No aviation fuel is only 105 like i said before. We get our fuel directly out of a pump at the airport and that it was they said the rating was. Somewhere between 105 and 110
