Jet a vs jet b

[Panzerdog]

Who knows the difference in jet a or jet b iam pretty sure common av gas is jet b but have access to jet a fuel for free

 

[Clode]

isn't jet B high grade kerosene

 

[Panzerdog]

I think jet b is 100ll and jet a is 110 octane but not sure

 

[5Lgreenback]

Do not run Jet A or B in any gasoline powered engine. Jet B is not 100LL.

 

[Rene G]

They’re both pretty much kerosene / diesel, will not work in a sled!!

 

[pfi572]

Hahaha
Yeh it’s not Av 100 .
It’s a refined kerosene

“The most commonly used fuels for commercial aviation are Jet A and Jet A-1, which are produced to a standardized international specification. The only other jet fuel commonly used in civilian turbine-engine powered aviation is Jet B, which is used for its enhanced cold-weather performance.”

 

[TDR]

Yep only if you are running a jet engine in your sled!!! It’s the clean kerosene cut between diesel and gasoline. Av gas is totally different.

Yes, another vote to NOT use jet B. We use it in helicopters.
Unless you wanted to pay for the fuel to get your sled choppered out? Lol.

Jet A isn’t even available anymore in Canada is it due to colder temps?

I know a guy who used one of the two in a old 6.2 diesel. he said it was harder to start than usual and the truck ran hot.

My brother got free jet fuel once for his sled. He ran it. He then paid for a new motor. It was an 96 formula 3 600. Lasted about 6 miles.

Jet b (I think it’s the one) you can run in a diesel just need to lube it up with 2 stroke oil.

ATF also works good. Keeps the injectors clean... in a diesel

I wouldn’t run ATF in any diesel period. There’s fuel conditioners for a reason

Agreed. The atf thing is old school trick for old school atf that is far from what today’s atf is dex3 is different additives than it did years ago
