Jet Fuel

Post by 68 Ford Stepside »

When three New Jersey gas stations filled up a bunch of cars with jet fuel, they stalled out pretty quickly. I imagine a diesel would have gone a little further before self destructing.

I worked with JP-5. It's just kerosene with icing inhibitors. Burns in diesels, just won't make quite the same power.

I figured the reduced amount of oil would be hard on a diesel.
