Good grief...makes me feel old, because I remember the "Tiger in your Tank" adverts for domestic gas ("petrol").  I was very young at the time....!), and we had a Tiger tail on the tank cap, free from the petrol station with a purchase of fuel!  Good days....

Not wanting to take us down a rabbit hole, but somewhere there's a Shell Film Unit production about the development of aviation fuel and their association with the RAF. 

Thanks, Eclipse....this was a nice trip down memory lane this morning.
