But aviation fuel is not as flammable as aviation fuel.

The way I understand it is that petrol is very volatile and extremely flammable, with a low flash point. Aviation fuel is a kerosene-type fuel with a much higher flash point so it is less flammable.

A bit like comparing petrol and diesel.

 You're probably right, but that doesn't alter the fact that aviation fuel is exactly as flammable as aviation fuel  ;D

Hmmm ... depends on what you mean by aviation fuel. Jet fuel is highly kerosene based, pistol engine fuel is high octane petrol.

Behave yourself

stop trying to tie people in knots (cable/rope/string variety, not the marine/aviation measurement of speed)

didn't take your medication this morning? And we've told you before, snorting coke when its in the can doesn't work, use a straw

Probably distracted by trying to watch the cycling, when they deem fit to let us watch it and trying to write something which makes sense.  :o
