Re: Jet Fuel A in 7.3's
First off let me provide the following information I found on the web.
Jet A is a similar kerosene type of fuel, produced to an ASTM specification and normally only available in the U.S.A. It has the same flash point (100F)as Jet A-1 but a higher freeze point maximum (-40°C). It is supplied against the ASTM D1655 (Jet A) specification.
JP-5 is a high flash (140F) point kerosene meeting the requirements of the U.S. Military Specification MIL-PRF-5624S Grade JP-5. JP-5 also meets the requirements of the British Specification DEF STAN 91-86 AVCAT/FSII (formerly DERD 2452). NATO Code F-44.
The reason I provided the JP-5 is we used this fuel for all of our diesels on the island I was stationed on back in the day. No additives at all. With that being said I also had a friend who ran a VW diesel and used this product exclusively. I did add something for lubrication. You know our Powerstroke are not like allot of other diesels, so make sure you add a lubricant. What I'm thinking of doing is when I start making my Bio mix it with Jet A.
