  5. Try your nearest airport which services jet aircraft. If you don't mind
    my asking, what's the jet fuel for?

  7. Jet fuel is essentially kerosene.

  8. Jet A works great in a kerosene heater, not that I would ever drain
    the fuel truck sumps into my kerosene can. ;)

    I knew it's kerosene, just don't know what the original poster's
    intentions are.

    Isn't Jet A up to $4 a gallon or so? You'd have to be getting it
    "free" to justify using it for heat.

    Why is everyone thinking that he/she wants it for something. Look at the
    name that he/she used to post his question "ass".

  12. $3.75 where I'm at. I have to drain the sumps daily, back in the old
    days we just drained it onto the gravel lot, now we have to capture it
    so I take it home every night and heat my garage (as well as my 20000
    btu heater will do).

    it's just a "sheep herd" question. allegedly there's some nascar
    kerfuffle going on at the moment due to "illegal" use of "jet fuel" by
    one of the competitors. i personally think it much more likely to be a
    "made for media" story designed to stir general public attention [read:
    ANY EXPOSURE IS GOOD EXPOSURE] since "jet fuel" is kerosene, and not
    very friendly to piston engines.

    try it and see what happens - i don't think you'll be impressed with the
    results. and make sure you know where the drain plug on the tank is -
    just a hint.

    Not "illegal", just against the rules.

    Same thing. "Illegal" means "against the rules".

    I wonder if our daring OP is confusing Avgas with JP...

    if he is, it's not necessarily his fault. the radio pundits were all
    using the words "jet fuel", even the alleged transgressor, when
    interviewed, called it "jet fuel". that's why i think it's media hype.
    no professional driver that knows a wheel from a wrench would call
    avgas "jet fuel". "jet fuel" is great for sound bites though.
