Subject: Re: [MV] Does Jet fuel harm Diesel Engines?
I'd like to help clear up some confusion regarding Jet
Fuel. Jet fuel is no more than Pure grade A+++
kerosene. It is a much higher grade than the kero you
would buy at your local gas station for say a
kersosene heater. What you might find in some Jet-A
fuel is an anti gel addative and anti Micro biolocical
addative, harmless to a diesel engine. Believe it or
not there is a fungus that actually loves to grow in
Jet fuel, the addative keeps it at bay. I just wanted
to put my two cents in after hearing way too many
people refer to Jet fuel as if it was some kind of
rocket fuel. Nothing more than really pure Kero guys.
Oh, and the higher price is just because it is going
into aircraft, that's the petroleum industries way of
scalping consumers just because it fuels aircraft.
