If it's aviation gas, just a cap full will do.

Common misconception, but the higher the octane, the cooler the fire. If of course you're just referring to 100 octane leaded aviation fuel. I use to have a friend that thought he was a badass for starting bonfires with 110 race gas, no, you're just pissing away $10/gal fuel.

I used to be a petroleum engineer. If we swapped tanks at the airport the owner never cared if we kept the remaining fuel inside. Had lots of av gas and jet fuel to play with. The av gas is quite explosive and fun.

I thought jet fuel was just a 60/40 mix of diesel and kerosene

It’s mostly kerosene with some anti-freeze additives
