AVGAS UL91 is an unleaded aviation gasoline specially designed for microlight aircraft, with the letters UL designating "unleaded".

How can you identify AVGAS UL91 at a service station? 

 

AVGAS UL 91 is marked in airport refueling facilities in white letters against a red background with a green border. This clear labeling was designed to prevent any "misfuelling", with AVGAS 100LL or JET A-1 being erroneously used instead. Similarly, AVGAS dispenser nozzles are painted in red and JET A-1 nozzles in black.
