can someone help me find the chemical compound of the C-3 100 octane fuel used in the Messerschmitt 109F-4? I'm trying to figure out how much CO2 would be released if the Messerschmitt burned all its fuel in a flight.
 
Aviation gasoline is not just one compound but a mixture of many different molecules.

German C3 100 octane avgas was rather rich in aromatics, so I would estimate that it contained about 86 wt% carbon and 14 wt% hydrogen.
That should enable you to calculate the resulting CO2 released.
