I will be using the MKT at Bikes Blues and BBQ next month for four days, I have access to 16,000-18,000 lbs. of JP8 on site. I know the manual says JP8 is acceptable but has anyone really used it in a MBU?

From TM 10-7310-281-13-P of 17 May 2010, fifth page (including cover):

The MBU has been designed to operate with JP-8 and certain approved diesel fuels.
Only JP-8 or an approved alternate diesel fuel may be used.

In 2008 (?) I helped inspect, repair and test 4 MKT's. We used JP8, because that's all the Army had/used at the time. Worked OK for us. In 2010 I went to a German/American fest in Graf. MKT's from two units cooked food, and used JP8. Everything was good. That all the troops down range had. Worked good.
