Re: Jet Fuel A in 7.3's
I've been an aircraft mechanic for 19 years and deal with this subject on a weekly basis.
First of all, Jet A (not sure about JP-5), is NOT dyed.
When you sump out of an aircraft, you CAN put that SAME FUEL back into the SAME AIRCRAFT, but NOT into ANOTHER aircraft.
You also CANNOT mix sumped fuel with other fuel that will be used to fuel other aircraft, ie, pump it into a fuel truck that fuel's other jets.
This subject has been debated for years in aviation circles.
I've heard of people using straight Jet A (no additives at all) for over 15 years in the same vehicle, without any problems. Mind you, these vehicles didn't have the HEUI Injectors that our Powerstrokes have.
I've also heard of several people using it in the newer model diesel trucks, and mixing it with either motor oil, transmission fluid, or an additive like Stanadyne, Diesel Kleen, etc, without problems.
Personally, I wouldn't run it in a Powerstroke unless I mixed it with ON-Road Fuel (about 50/50), and ran some type of lubricity additive.
Just my $0.02!
