Well when I said I can get my hands on I meant in a few months not weeks. Currently we give it to a fuel supplier and he sells it for a $1 a gallon. It's actually more like Kerosene than JP-8.If it is like JP-8 (souped up kerosene) it is dry.....mix it 50/50 with WMO and enjoy.
Bring me a couple hundred gallons when you head down here....I'll go a buck a gallon.
I know jp5 is oily.They actually are different but most of the equipment that can run on DF #2 (F-54) can run on JP-8 (F-34) for a certain amount of time. The issue comes into play with common rail diesel engines and direct injection because JP-8 doesn't have the lubricity or diesel fuel. Many of are vehicle TO's actually define what is to be replaced if run on JP-8 for more than 500 hrs.
Actually Navy Planes can't be stored below deck on the Aircraft Carrier if they were fueled with JP-8.
