Re: Jet Fuel A in 7.3's
I've pumped/burned hundreds of thousands of gallons of Jet Fuel in the last 45+ years all over the world and I've never came across a red jet fuel. I have refueled at foreign military airports in Europe, all across Russia, Mexico, Central/South America and the Military Jet Fuel was straw colored to almost clear.
Up to and as of today Civilian Jet-A is straw colored to almost clear. It's been quite a few years since I burned U.S. Military JP-4 or JP-5 so I can't account for the color of the U.S. Military JP-5 now.
I heated my home from sump samples in the early 60's with straw colored U.S. Military JP-4 in Spain.
I've never used Jet Fuel in any of my 7.3L engines but I imagine with Stanadyne Performance Formula to give it additional lubrication it would run just fine. The going rate for Jet-A as of today is $4.95 per gallon without discount.
