Default Who here runs their deuce on JP-8/Contaminated jet fuel?
I remember someone here saying they ran their truck on Contaminated jet fuel that they got for free....who was it?

I'm not sure if he said it was JP8 or regular hi-octane avgas....

It says right on the data plate DO NOT USE AVGAS. JP8 is fine that is what the military uses in every thing.

Hi octane fuel won't properly detonate in the compression ignition multifuel engines. JP8 will work just fine.

the AVGAS wont 100% burn and will "light up" when it hits the air (about 1 inch after the exhaust pipe) and shoot a flame out the stack.

JP8 or more commonly called "Jet A" will run fine in ANY diesel engine. It is especially good in very cold climates as it doesn't jell and starts quickly.

Could JP8 be stored in a water buffalo without destroying the valves?

The wheels in my mind are turning.
